Note |
This product can be used for a variety of Raspberry Pi operating systems, the common ones are Raspberry Pi OS, Ubuntu, and OpenWRT system, the latest version of these three systems can directly use the RM520N-GL module, no need to install a separate driver.
First of all, after installing the hardware connected above, the PWR indicator lights up red when the module is powered on, and the NET indicator lights up green when the network is acquired, as shown in the following figure:
The following is an example of the Raspberry Pi 4B, operating system Rasberry Pi OS-230217, kernel version: 5.15-84-v71+:
lsusb ls /dev/ttyUSB*
The com port recognized by the module acts as follows:
/dev/ttyUSB0:DIAG Port for output developing message /dev/ttyUSB1:NMEA Port for GNSS NMEA data output /dev/ttyUSB2:AT Port for AT Commands /dev/ttyUSB3:Modem
RM520N-GL supports a variety of 5G Internet access modes, Linux systems, commonly used are ECM, NDIS, RNDIS, and several specific Internet access modes, users switch through the AT command but note that not all mode modules can be used under the Linux operating system, the specific to the actual test shall prevail.
There are the following dial-up types, which can be set up and switched by AT command:
AT+QCFG="usbnet",0 driver type is NDIS(QMI)); AT+QCFG="usbnet",1 Driver type is ECM; (recommended for Linux systems) AT+QCFG="usbnet",2 driver type is MBIM; (recommended for Windows, not supported for Linux) AT+QCFG="usbnet",3 Driver type is RNDIS (recommended for Linux) AT+QCFG="usbnet",5 The driver type is NCM; (not supported for Linux)
Note that after sending the AT command to set the dialing method, you also need to send the command to restart the module:
AT+CFUN=1,1
If you need to query the module's current NIC mode configuration, send the command:
AT+QCFG="usbnet"
sudo apt purge modemmanager -y sudo apt purge network-manager -y

, check if ttyUSB0~ttyUSB4 are correctly identified:sudo apt-get install minicom sudo minicom - D /dev/ttyUSB2
Welcome to minicom 2.7.1 OPTIONS: I18n Compiled on Aug 13 2017, 15:25:34. Port /dev/ttyUSB2 Press CTRL-A Z for help on special keys AT OK
AT+QCFG="usbnet",1 AT+CGDCONT=1,"IPV4V6","YOUR_APN" AT+CFUN=1,1
Wait for the modem to start up again. It may take up to 30 seconds. Once the modem has restarted, the minicom will be activated again.
After rebooting, open a new Linux terminal and use the command ifconfig or ipaddr to check the usbX in the network interface.
AT+QENG="servingcell"
sudo dhclient -v usb0 sudo apt-get install udhcpc sudo udhcpc -i usb0 sudo route add -net 0.0.0.0 usb0
After dialing, the Raspberry Pi can see usb0 get the IP by the following command, enter the command ifconfig usb0
or ifconfig
.

Please see 5G/4G Raspberry 4B openWrt Sample Tutorial.
In the Linux system, you can install speedtest_cli to test:
## Raspberry Pi OS
sudo apt install speedtest-cli
speedtest # or use speedtest_cli
or
## OpenWRT
opkg update
opkg install python3
opkg install python3-pip
pip install speedtest_cli
speedtest # or use speedtest_cli
Check if the module detects SIM:
AT+CPIN? # Should return READY
Check if the module is registered to the network:
AT+CEREG? # Should return 0,1 or 0,5
Check if the APN is correct and has an IP: AT+CGCONTRDP?
AT+CGCONTRDP # Should return APN details and IP address.
RM520N-GL 5G HAT can also be directly connected to the module's USB3.0 interface and the Windows PC's USB3.0 interface through the USB cable, but also requires an additional 5V external power supply to the board's EXT PWR interface to ensure that the 5G communication power is sufficient, the connection effect diagram similar to:
RM520N-GL series also can choose MBIM to the network, as shown below:
AT+QENG="servingcell" AT+QCFG="usbnet",2 AT+CFUN=1,1
As there will be many inconsistencies between actual and laboratory conditions that will result in 5G speeds that are not ideally stable at 100MBPS, there are the following.
PS: The current number of base stations still does not have good coverage, and the speed measurement is not quite the same in different locations.
AT+QGPS=1 //Open GPS positioning
AT+QGPSLOC=0 //Get GPS position
AT+QGPS=0 //Close GPS position
3. Satellite data can be received by enabling the NMEA port to:
5G consumes a lot of power, and the host's USB interface might not provide enough power. Please use a USB double-plug cable to supply sufficient power to the module, as shown in the diagram.
As RM500U-CN and RM500Q-GL modules support simultaneous access to two SIM cards, dual-card single standby, can be switched to enable one of the SIM cards to work through the AT command:
*SIM card 1 is used by default, you can use the following commands to check: AT+QUIMSLOT? *Switch to SIM card 2 using the following commands: AT+QUIMSLOT=2 *Switch to SIM card using the following commands: AT+QUIMSLOT=1 *Query whether the corresponding card slot identifies the SIM card: AT+CPIN?
If the corresponding SIM card is still not recognized, consider that the dip switches do not enable the corresponding module, please see C corresponding dip switches are turned ON:

RM500U-CN: based on Zhanrui
RM500Q-GL: based on the Qualcomm platform, supports GNSS positioning, mainly for China
RM500q-AE/RM502Q-AE: based on the Qualcomm platform, supports GNSS positioning, mainly for countries except for China.
The 5G module requires a lot of power, especially at the moment of network access; the power supply capacity of the Raspberry Pi is limited, and the 5V (3A) power supply can be connected to the onboard TYPE-C interface.
When using the external power supply, RM500U does not reboot after rebooting the Raspberry Pi, you can use the commands to restart RM500U.
As shown below:
AT+QCFG="usbnet",0 driver type is NDIS(QMI)); AT+QCFG="usbnet",1 The driver type is ECM; AT+QCFG="usbnet",2 The driver type is MBIM; (RM5XXQ support) AT+QCFG="usbnet",3 The driver type is RNDIS AT+QCFG="usbnet",5 The driver type is NCM;
Use the following command to turn on the echo, and press Enter after entering: (Blind typing is required here)

It can be inquired at the following website: https://www.frequencycheck.com
Raspberry Pi 2B/zero, with user serial device number ttyAMA0;
ls -l /dev/serial*
You can confirm that serial0 is the selected serial device number with the following command line, as follows:
The USB power supply capability of the Raspberry Pi is worse than that of the computer. It needs to be connected to an external power supply. Please set the switch to EXT PWR, and connect the HAT interface to a 5V 3A power supply:
Yes, it is a Qualcomm X62 platform like RM520.
Please use the following commands to enable the network port to access the network:
AT+GTUSBMODE=36 AT+GTAUTOCONNECT=1
Yes, it supports the Jetson Nano series, and its hardware is designed for Jetson Nano. If you want to use it with other Jetson Nano, the adapter should be connected to dual male port. If connect it to Jetson Orin Nano, please use this verified system Jetpack 6.0(Ubuntu 22.04) and note that some system drivers may not support.
