Software setup

  • Open a terminal and install libraries by the following commands
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python3-pip
sudo pip3 install pyserial
mkdir -p ~/Documents/SIM7600X_4G_for_JETSON_NANO
wget -P ~/Documents/SIM7600X_4G_for_JETSON_NANO/ https://www.waveshare.com/w/upload/6/64/SIM7600X_4G_for_JETSON_NANO.tar.gz
cd ~/Documents/SIM7600X_4G_for_JETSON_NANO/
tar -xvf SIM7600X_4G_for_JETSON_NANO.tar.gz
sudo pip3 install Jetson.GPIO
sudo groupadd -f -r gpio
sudo usermod -a -G gpio your_user_name
sudo udevadm control --reload-rules && sudo udevadm trigger
sudo apt-get install minicom

Note: you should replace your_user_name with the actual user name.

Testing

Testing with minicom

Before you test the SIM7600, you need to install it with the following commands.

echo 200 > /sys/class/gpio/export
echo out > /sys/class/gpio200/direction
echo 1 > /sys/class/gpio200/value
echo 0 > /sys/class/gpio200/value

Make sure that the NET is blinking normally.
Run minicom and type AT commands to test.

sudo minicom -D /dev/ttyTHS1 -b 115200

If you cannot get a response, please check if you have set the DIP switch to ON.

Python examples

  • Make sure that all the hardware are connected properly. Start Jetson Nano and open a terminal.
  • AT examples.
    • You should run the following commands to run the codes and type AT commands for testing.
cd ~/Documents/SIM7600X_4G_for_JETSON_NANO/AT/ sudo python3 AT.py
  • GPS examples.
    • Connect the GPS antenna and set the receiver in an open place.
    • You should run the following commands to run the codes to test GPS.
cd ~/Documents/SIM7600X_4G_for_JETSON_NANO/GPS/ sudo python3 GPS.py
  • PhoneCall examples
    • Modify the PhoneCall.py file, change the phone number to yours by the vi tools and save.
    • Finally use the following command to run the code.
cd ~/Documents/SIM7600X_4G_for_JETSON_NANO/PhoneCall/
vi PhoneCall.py #modify the phone number 
sudo python3 PhoneCall.py
  • SMS example
    • Run the following commands
cd ~/Documents/SIM7600X_4G_for_JETSON_NANO/SMS/ sudo python3 SMS.py
  • TCP example
    • Run the following commands
cd ~/Documents/SIM7600X_4G_for_JETSON_NANO/TCP/ sudo python3 TCP.py

4G connecting

Please connect all the hardware and start Jetson Nano.

  • Check and make sure that the module work normally by demo codes above.
  • Open minicom by command
sudo su
killall ModemManager 
minicom -D /dev/ttyUSB2
  • Type the following command to check
AT+CNMP=38 
AT+CSQ 
AT+CREG? 
AT+COPS? 
AT+CPSI?
  • Download driver
cd 
wget https://www.waveshare.com/w/upload/4/46/Simcom_wwan.zip unzip Simcom_wwan.zip 
cd simcom_wwan 
sudo su 
make
  • Use root permission to install driver
insmod simcom_wwan.ko 
lsmod 
dmesg
  • Check if the wwan0 interface is recognized
ifconfig -a
  • Enable the wwan0 interface
ifconfig wwan0 up
  • Dailing by minicom
minicom -D /dev/ttyUSB2 
AT$QCRMCALL=1,1
  • Allocate IP
apt-get install udhcpc 
udhcpc -i wwan0
  • Now you can use 4G network
  • If you get dns error, please fix it by this command
route add -net 0.0.0.0 wwan0
