README
^^^^^^

README for NuttX port to the u-blox C027 dev board.

The board is intended for prototyping software for u-blox cellular modems (SARA
or LISA families) and the u-blox GPS receiver (MAX-7Q, MAX-M8Q, or other,
depending on board revision).

This board features the LPC1768 MCU and is related to the Embedded Artists' base
board with the NXP the LPCXpresso daughter board, see
boards/lpcxpresso-lpc1768/README.txt.

The board also features an embedded USB debugger.

Configurations
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

nsh
---

The nsh configuration allows to test the modem and the GPS receiver. The modem
can be tested in either the internal TCP/IP stack mode or with the NuttX TCP/IP
stack and pppd.

Modem starts in power-down mode and has to be switched on, e.g., using the nsh
command:

nsh> ubloxmodem on

To connect using the NuttX TCP/IP stack, use pppd. At the time of writing the
pppd app is located in apps/examples/pppd and requires setting correct login
details in the source code.

To connect using the internal u-blox TCP/IP stack, use the chat app. Its
configuration is done in
boards/arm/lpc17xx_40xx/u-blox-c027/nsh/defconfig and can be adjusted
using 'make menuconfig'.

The NuttX u-blox modem driver is included like this:

CONFIG_MODEM=y
CONFIG_MODEM_U_BLOX=y

The nsh app that allows power control is included with the default configuration
as follows:

CONFIG_EXAMPLES_UBLOXMODEM=y
CONFIG_EXAMPLES_UBLOXMODEM_TTY_DEVNODE="/dev/ttyS1"
CONFIG_EXAMPLES_UBLOXMODEM_DEVNODE="/dev/ubxmdm"

The modem driver uses two device nodes. The TTY device is the modem terminal,
while the other device is used for general control via GPIO such as power
control. At the moment only one modem is supported, and the corresponding device
control node is /dev/ubxmdm.

The chat app allows to run scripts. A few such scripts are preset in the
defconfig:

CONFIG_EXAMPLES_CHAT_PRESET[0..3]:
0 - set up the provider context with username and password,
1 - connect to the provider,
2 - open a TCP socket to the u-blox test server,
3 - test the TCP socket server operation and close the socket.
