In this blog post I'm going to address connecting it to a 4G module [1] via USB and UART. Check your device connection Start by checking if your 4G module connected via Serial or USB is connected properly. Use sudo dmesg | grep tty this will list all the connected devices when you have connected via USB you will get a message like this [ 55.066972] usb 1-1: GSM modem (1-port) converter now attached to ttyUSB0 [ 55.082450] usb 1-1: GSM modem (1-port) converter now attached to ttyUSB1 [ 55.111827] usb 1-1: GSM modem (1-port) converter now attached to ttyUSB2 Typically it means, /dev/ttyUSB0 is for diag port. /dev/ttyUSB1 is AT ports you can use it with screen/dev/ttyUSB1 or minicom to test with AT Commands. /dev/ttyUSB2 is Modem port for ppp-dial. /dev/ttyUSB3 appears for module with GSM/GNSS connectivity if you are connecting via Serial make sure to configure your pins as Tx and Rx without fail, you can use config-pin p9.11 uart where you can replace p9.11 with your desired serial pin, check out BBB pin-out here . PPP Dialup connection setup navigate to /etc/ppp/peers and create three different files and paste the following contents onto them. connect ABORT "BUSY" ABORT "NO CARRIER" ABORT "ERROR" ABORT "NO ANSWER" TIMEOUT 30 "" AT OK ATE0 OK ATI;+CSUB;+CSQ;+CPIN?;+COPS?;+CGREG?;&D2 OK AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","airteliot.com",,0,0 // Replace "airteliot.com" with your operator's APN OK ATD*99# CONNECT Disconnect ABORT "ERROR" ABORT "NO DIALTONE" SAY "\nSending break to the modem\n" "" +++ "" +++ "" +++ SAY "\nbyeeee!\n" simcom-pppd /dev/ttyS1 115200 #replace "ttyS1" with your port or if you're using an usb connection replace it with ttyUSB(1) user "test" password "test" #connect chat connect 'chat -s -v -f /etc/ppp/peers/connect' #disconnect disconnect 'chat -s -v -f /etc/ppp/peers/disconnect' #hide-password in debug messages hide-password noauth debug defaultroute noipdefault novj novjccomp noccp ipcp-accept-local ipcp-accept-remote local lock modem dump nodetach nocrtscts remotename 3gppp ipparam 3gppp ipcp-max-failure 30 usepeerdns Connect You can now initiate connection using pppd call simcom-pppd & once it successfully connects you can verify the connection. Notes - While using UART to connect with your 4G module I recommend you to configure the reset pin aswell if you dont once there is a connection break you should do a manual reboot (power off -> power on) the 4G Module - If you want to schedule your 4G module to auto connect upon booting you can make use of crontab to do it. Explained here . - Thanks to all the beagle board org forum & discord members for their help.

First, the pi will not do it. as it lacks multiple RJ45s, one for incoming the other for outgoing. Personally build a Box and put in it OpenBSD it comes with the best firewall/router in the biz, has never ever been hacked, small learning curve. My box that I pulled together is running 4 network connections, plus one on the mother board which makes 5. All inbound, and outbound traffic Public HTML server VOIP server (two public addresses Astrix (Rasberry PI) and has a USB to Ethernet for the Phones) Second PI for the PIhole Nat to the internal network 197.168.x.x back do for special stuff You cant do that on the PI!! any older box will do. 8Gb of memory (P2) and 1 Gb HDA So where did I get all the ports from?? Simple put in a few adapters. ~~ Good Luck Cris H.https://community.element14.com/products/devtools/single-board-computers/f/forum/55243/please-recommend-a-linux-sbc-with-industrial-stability-while-it-is-made-in-abc/225048Mon, 04 Nov 2024 18:50:00 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:22379f50-e95e-4b9c-8e08-ffc3f48fbc34Jan CumpsThe CM4 module has this big advantage: it's been on the market for a while. Proven availability and support. I have these 3 industrial targetted SBCs. From established brands. And they are all end-of-life. They had a 1 - 2 year lifecycle. Now without support / software / patches AVNET IIOT Gateway Siemens IOT2000 Harting MICA Nice hardware, but boat anchors.https://community.element14.com/products/devtools/single-board-computers/f/forum/55243/please-recommend-a-linux-sbc-with-industrial-stability-while-it-is-made-in-abc/225037Mon, 04 Nov 2024 10:44:00 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:fc4fc13c-ec52-4013-abbb-96e3a5dd57b9CqukWe used the PI CM4 module. It has the best support and you can be sure of ongoing updates. Some of the other systems we used needed "Custom" linux. That was out of date or hard to compilehttps://community.element14.com/products/devtools/single-board-computers/f/forum/55243/please-recommend-a-linux-sbc-with-industrial-stability-while-it-is-made-in-abc/225036Mon, 04 Nov 2024 10:39:00 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:19bfba63-15d3-4a25-a521-1f83058482fcHKPhysicistThanks for that nice photo. I am also considering something like this after having read your comments. I will start with Pi Compute IO Board and AVNET MAXX Board. I also think that a grounded metal case is crucial for stability.https://community.element14.com/products/devtools/single-board-computers/f/forum/55243/please-recommend-a-linux-sbc-with-industrial-stability-while-it-is-made-in-abc/225033Mon, 04 Nov 2024 10:29:00 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:7b08cf2c-7ffc-4c27-8e48-b2ff32be5387HKPhysicistYes, I am locking down to Pi Compute IO Board and AVNET MAXX Board which claims to work between 0C to 70C. hk.element14.com/.../4551378 However, MAXX Board is also made in China, a big alert of low quality! (hidden issues are - recycled components, fake big name components, low quality China components with fake specifications claimed, etc). I am not making anything military. I just hope my electronic can tolerate outdoor weather around a year, similar to most outdoor communication gears. First of all, I want to try my gear in East Asia. So 0C to 70C, somewhat humid around spring and summer, should be reasonable. Also, we must consider those super hot sunny days! The Sun is not kidding nowadays. These are my experiences on my own electronics: I did a test on my China smart phone. I placed it inside my refrigerator. I closed the door. A few minutes later when I took it out, it hung. Refrigerator is at 4C. My 2 Japan made Toshiba water kettles. It boils water up to 100C everyday and keeps warms with built-in electronics. In winter when the temperature is close to 0C, it still works. I own 2 of them. Each works almost 10 years. The first one was dumped because my family complained that it's appearance was too old. They meet industrial standard. My Philips rice cooker. it boils con-gee, rices, everything we feed into it up to 100C everyday and still works after many years. It is industrial standard. My Mitsubishi consumer grade refrigerator. It works from -20C (freezer) up to very hot summer 45C (its case?!). My Japan made rechargeable NiMH battery. I charged it one time and it has been driving my blood pressure meter so many times. I even forget when I charged it last time. China made rechargeable NiMH battery bought from RS. After several times of use, it could not drive my blood pressure meter any more. I could not even recharge it successfully. Then, I dumped it. Its price is the same as my Japan made rechargeable NiMH battery. China made RS electrical wall plate - I screwed it and it broke. My family scolded me and I replaced it with a Britain made MK electrical wall plate. I screwed it hard and it is still intact. unknown dimmable wall switch + ikea dimmable LED light bulbs - users complained that ikea bulbs burn once each day and they must keep the bulbs on to keep them alive. French made Clipsal dimmable wall switch + ikea dimmable LED light bulbs - I have 4 of them and they are still working after one and 1/2 years. My 3 Panasonic air coolers - one runs 20 hours a day in summer and still runs after 12 years. I even can't touch its metal case in summer. In addition, I keep them clean with expensive 3M air filters. my China made blood pressure meter readings deviates from an in-hospital blood pressure meter very much. My Japan made AND meter matches with hospital blood pressure meter very well. My 2nd handed DELL PC runs for 2 years in my living room. I just shut it down for cleaning up in winter. In summer, its case fan roars and still works. The experiments go on everyday.https://community.element14.com/products/devtools/single-board-computers/f/forum/55243/please-recommend-a-linux-sbc-with-industrial-stability-while-it-is-made-in-abc/225028Sun, 03 Nov 2024 21:59:00 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:8fec2176-3ee6-4bbf-b31b-eb96ae30142bshabazIt's often things like crystal choice which can make the difference and some other components might operate at higher temperatures when tested. As well as the compute module, Avnet also offer a complete custom service (in conjunction with raspberrypi.com as I understand) where they will drop the Pi design directly onto a PCB. Hilscher did that with Avnet (I think). The photo below isn't high-quality, but the Pi 3 portion is visible at the lower-right. Since it was a custom design, they were able to add plug-in functionality, like interfaces (don't know if they had LTE, I think they didn't, but they were thinking of opening up that port so that users could create their own plug-on boards). But it's now obsolete (I think due to part obsolescence), and they suggest the netFIELD product now. I think if the OP finds the closest industrial product that meets his needs (there are dozens of industrial computers and routers, and nearly all will support custom applications), he should talk to the manufacturer, who will probably be more than happy to advise how to further ruggedized and improve the temp spec to meet a need. If he has money to spend, then Avnet will design him one based on a Pi.https://community.element14.com/products/devtools/single-board-computers/f/forum/55243/please-recommend-a-linux-sbc-with-industrial-stability-while-it-is-made-in-abc/225027Sun, 03 Nov 2024 20:52:00 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:e7792770-143f-4a9a-b57f-517f133caa0felectronicbikerRaspberry Pi make the 'Compute' module which I believe is used in various industrial-grade PLC's and the like. I don't know much about it as a) I've never had cause to use it, b) the last company I worked for made their own PLC look-alikes, and c) I havn't worked in industry for several years as I am retired. The information is on the Raspberry Pi web site, it might be worth a look. But reading between the lines it looks as if you might be needing military spec devices at vast expense, and I don't think the Compute module qualifies.https://community.element14.com/products/devtools/single-board-computers/f/forum/55243/please-recommend-a-linux-sbc-with-industrial-stability-while-it-is-made-in-abc/225024Sun, 03 Nov 2024 16:59:00 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:91f2def8-bc44-458c-85e8-f161f619cb43Jan CumpsA few asks - related to industrial design: The BPlay has no industrial certifications. Is it matching your SBC with Industrial stability requirements? Where do TI specify the 10 years for the WL card?https://community.element14.com/products/devtools/single-board-computers/f/forum/55243/please-recommend-a-linux-sbc-with-industrial-stability-while-it-is-made-in-abc/225023Sun, 03 Nov 2024 16:27:00 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:00200c55-237f-410b-93ef-2fbc74d82cdashabazI think that netFIELD has a good chance to be suitable. There are serial, and USB and Ethernet interfaces to connect additional hardware. The manufacturer rates it to +60 degrees C, but if you talk to them, they will tell you what the limiting factor is (and if it can be modified). For example, they may state that better cooling is needed to operate at +85 degrees C.https://community.element14.com/products/devtools/single-board-computers/f/forum/55243/please-recommend-a-linux-sbc-with-industrial-stability-while-it-is-made-in-abc/225022Sun, 03 Nov 2024 16:24:00 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:7f8f226b-b024-49b1-b012-7efdedbcc70dHKPhysicistI just doubt how a TI WL chip dies after 6 months of purchase?!? It is at least 10 years! The most possible cause is the inferior resistors, capacitors, fake big name components, low quality China components, etc! Just see how they pack their electrical vehicles!https://community.element14.com/products/devtools/single-board-computers/f/forum/55243/please-recommend-a-linux-sbc-with-industrial-stability-while-it-is-made-in-abc/225021Sun, 03 Nov 2024 16:19:00 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:4ea72e75-552b-4345-ba5f-f9ac8ba0e5adHKPhysicistThanks for your valuable opinions. Yes, you are correct because I still need a Wi-SUN border router board to connect to my Linux SBC. So I need an industrial grade Linux SBC to work with a separate Wi-SUN border router.
