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 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
tar zxvf Simcom_wwan.zip
cd Simcom_wwan
sudo make
Use root permission to install driver
sudo su
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
