OK, I compiled engcons.c on my FR. It took a bit of doing, 'cos the
uSD reader is broken, so I am very space-limited (so apt-get doesn't
work), but eventually I got gcc & libc6-dev installed with dpkg.
Interesting results:
root at neo:~# ./engcons /dev/ttySAC0 r115200
Starting session
AT-Command Interpreter ready
OK
AT+CGMI
+CGMI: FIC/OpenMoko
OK
AT+CGMM
+CGMM: "Neo1973 GTA01/GTA02 Embedded GSM Modem"
OK
AT+CGMR
+CGMR: "GSM: gsm_ac_gp_fd_pu_em_cph_ds_vc_cal35_ri_36_amd8_ts0-Moko11"
OK
AT+CFUN=1
OK
AT+COPS=?
+COPS: (1,"T-Mobile ","T-Mobile","310260")
OK
In a different session I ran AT+COPS, but it never seemed to return, so
I cycled the modem power and started again, and AT+COPS=? returned.
If I'm not mistaken the above means that only T-Mobile is found.
Which I'm guessing implies that AT&T have decided to turn off GSM
here. Which would be ... annoying.
