yannseznec Has anyone tried using a 3G or 4G USB SIM card modem in a BeagleBoard or PocketBeagle (and indeed, with a Bela)? Something like this: https://consumer.huawei.com/en/mobile-broadband/e3372/specs/ Would be great if anyone has any tips before I start buying things to test!
yannseznec OK so of course right after I post that question I find this: https://www.hackster.io/hologram/connect-beaglebone-black-to-cellular-with-huawei-e303-modem-0e14c2 That appears to be an explanation for how to use a similar model USB dongle for internet on a BeagleBoard. Would there be any reasons why a similar approach would not work on a PocketBeagle with a Bela attached?
giuliomoro that seems ok. You will have to use ip a instead of ifconfig, but most of the other steps will be fairly similar
yannseznec ok cool. I'll probably order one of those to test and report back in case anyone else is interested. thanks!
yannseznec cynthiak this project got put on hold, I'm afraid, so I never tested it out. Good luck! I'd be super interested to hear if/when you make any progress.
cynthiak yannseznec yes it worked out! I just put directly the credentials in "/etc/network/interfaces"
