ME909u-521 devkit
Supplier number: 55010025
Huawei ME909u-521 Development Kit (DVK) with UART.
The DVK provides a complete solution based on the data and audio functions of the ME909 module.
For designers who adopt the module in their design, the DVK facilitates their module-based programming and troubleshooting in the testing and integration stage.
The ME909u-521 LTE LGA module is soldered onto the interface board in a manner that is similar to the surface mounting of chips. The signals output from the module are transferred to the development board for secondary development.

Communications through universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter (UART) serial ports is convenient and reliable. UART serial ports are widely adopted in Huawei modules. This design guide describes the serial port specifications of Huawei modules and provides recommended design schemes for peripheral circuits. When designing UART serial ports for Huawei modules, customers can refer to this document.
Most of Huawei modules provide 8-wire serial ports with flow control. These 8-wire serial ports can also be used as 2-wire or 4-wire serial ports.

The Ulog is a log capturing tool for all Huawei modules.
It can work on PCs and various embedded platforms, and supports different operating systems (OS), such as Windows 7, Linux, and Android.
For Windows there's a graphical user interface available. In order to capture logs with Ulog the modules unique shell lock code need to be acquired based on the IMEI.

Question
What Linux kernel modules and configs are commonly used for communicating with cellular modules over their USB interface?
Solution
Most cellular modules can be supported in Linux by using som of the in-kernel drivers. The physical data interface to the host Linux system is usually done over USB which enumerates a set of different endpoints/interfaces. A set of serial interfaces for Modem/PPP, AT commands, NMEA location data and chipset debug information are almost always available in all configurations.
In addition some type of network endpoint/interface are also available and exposed. This can vary between manufacturers and chipset vendors and can also commonly be configurable by using USB configuration mode switching or through vendor specific AT commands.
Recommended kernel configurations to enable are listed bellow. Many cellular modules base their Linux support on these modules and drivers. Once included in the kernel build, the USB interfaces will be detected and bound correctly out-of-the-box or after applying source code patches to the driver modules.
Configs for USB serial drivers:
CONFIG_USB_SERIAL
CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_GENERIC
CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_WWAN
CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_OPTION
CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_QUALCOMM
CONFIG_USB_ACM
Configs for Modem/PPP support:
CONFIG_PPP
CONFIG_PPP_BSDCOMP
CONFIG_PPP_DEFLATE
CONFIG_PPP_FILTER
CONFIG_PPP_MPPE
CONFIG_PPP_MULTILINK
CONFIG_PPPOE
CONFIG_PPP_ASYNC
CONFIG_PPP_SYNC_TTY
Configs for USB network drivers:
CONFIG_USB_USBNET
CONFIG_USB_NET_QMI_WWAN
CONFIG_USB_NET_CDCETHER
CONFIG_USB_NET_RNDIS_HOST
CONFIG_USB_NET_CDC_NCM
CONFIG_USB_NET_HUAWEI_CDC_NCM
CONFIG_USB_NET_CDC_MBIM
Please relate to the Techship product specific web pages for vendor specific Linux integration guides.
Below is a selection of kernel commits relating to cellular module support in Linux kernels:
qmi_wwan: Add support for Fibocom NL678 series
qmi_wwan: Added support for Telit LN940 series
qmi_wwan: Added support for Fibocom NL668 series
USB: serial: option: add support for GosunCn ME3630 RNDIS mode
USB: serial: option: add support for Simcom SIM7500/SIM7600 RNDIS mode
USB: serial: option: add Simcom SIM7500/SIM7600 (MBIM mode)
USB: serial: option: add Fibocom NL678 series
USB: serial: option: add Telit LN940 series
USB: serial: option: add Fibocom NL668 series
USB: serial: option: add GosunCn ZTE WeLink ME3630
qmi_wwan: apply SET_DTR quirk to the SIMCOM shared device ID
If you use any of the listed cellular modules, drivers and specified USB modes in the commits above, ensure that your kernel version already include the patch or apply it to your build.

Question
How to install Huawei drivers in Windows 10 for modules with Qualcomm chipset?
Solution
First install this driver from product page.
Huawei drivers V.4.25.45.08 for Windows
Afterwards open Windows Device Manager and locate HUAWEI named device(s) with warning sign that are not installed correctly.
Right click on each of them and select update driver software...
Select Browse my computer for driver software.
Locate the folder under C:\Program Files (x86)\HUAWEI M2M Driver\Driver\ or the install files folder, select include sub folders also and click next.
Now the drivers should get installed by the system.
You will have to repeat the procedure for all Huawei devices in Device Manager with warning signs.
Now you will have have a working Huawei Qualcomm based module and you can connect to internet with Windows built-in connection manager or Huaweis Mobile Partner software.
