Necessary only for esp32 core v1.0.6-

From esp32 core v1.0.6+, LittleFS_esp32 v1.0.6 has been included and this step is not necessary anymore.

In Platform IO, to fix the error when using LittleFS_esp32 v1.0 for ESP32-based boards with ESP32 core v1.0.4- (ESP-IDF v3.2-), uncomment the following line

from

//#define CONFIG_LITTLEFS_FOR_IDF_3_2   /* For old IDF - like in release 1.0.4 */

to

#define CONFIG_LITTLEFS_FOR_IDF_3_2   /* For old IDF - like in release 1.0.4 */

It's advisable to use the latest LittleFS_esp32 v1.0.5+ to avoid the issue.

Thanks to Roshan to report the issue in Error esp_littlefs.c 'utime_p'

Documentation

1. How it works

This library enable you to do most of the operations you can do with a GSM phone: place and receive voice calls, send and receive SMS, and connect to the internet over a GPRS network. The onboard GSM/GPRS module, operates in 3G with a 2G fallback.

The GSM/GPRS modem transfers data, received from a serial port, to the GSM/GPRS network. The modem executes operations via a series of AT commands. The library abstracts low level communications between the modem and SIM card. It relies on the Serial library for communication between the modem and your board.

2. Library structure

As the library enables multiple types of functionality, there are a number of different classes.

  1. GSM class takes care of commands to the radio modem. This handles the connectivity aspects of the module and registers your system in the GSM infrastructure. All of your GSM/GPRS programs will need to include an object of this class to handle the necessary low level communication.
  2. GSMVoiceCall class manages and handles Voice Call
  3. GSM_SMS class manages Sending/Receiving SMS messages.
  4. GPRS class manages connecting to the internet.
  5. GSMClient class includes implementations for a client, similar to the Ethernet and WiFi libraries.
  6. GSMServer class includes implementations for a server, similar to the Ethernet and WiFi libraries. NB : A number of network operators do not allow for incoming connections from the public internet, but will allow them from inside their own. Check with your operator to see what restrictions there are on data use.
  7. GSMUDP class enables UDP message to be sent and received
  8. GSMModem class facilitates diagnostic communication with the modem.
  9. GSMScanner class provides diagnostic information about the network and carrier.
  10. GSMPIN class provides utilities for communicating with the SIM card.
  11. GSMBand class provides information about the frequency band the modem connects to. There are also methods for setting the band.

                       NULL the SIM has no configured PIN.
    @param restart     Restart the modem. Default is TRUE. The modem receives
                       a signal through the Ctrl/D7 pin. If it is shut down, it will

    @param synchronous If TRUE the call only returns after the Start is complete
                       or fails. If FALSE the call will return immediately. You have
                       to call repeatedly ready() until you get a result. Default is TRUE.

The unselected module #define can be deleted or left as is (false)

For example

// Only one #define with true is enough
#define GSM_MODEM_UBLOX             true

2. How to select which Serial port to communicate to GSM module

Select the corresponding Serial port to use to communicate (sending AT conmmands and receiving responses) to GSM module Remember to connect the board and modem correspondingly.

#define SerialGSM   Serial1

3. How to select extra pins to control GSM module

For example, the u-blox SARA U201 and LARA R2xx require a reset pin and another pin to control the low-power mode. Those pins are named here in this library as GSM_RESETN and GSM_DTR.

Default GSM_RESETN pin is set as 10, and GSM_DTR as 11. You can override the default pin settings in the sketch as follows:

// Optional usage of GSM_RESETN and GSM_DTR. Need to be here only when true. Default is false

#define UBLOX_USING_RESET_PIN             true
#define UBLOX_USING_LOW_POWER_MODE        true

// Override the default (and certainly not good) pins and port
// Only for boards other than ARDUINO_SAMD_MKRGSM1400
#define GSM_RESETN  (10u)
#define GSM_DTR     (11u)

Depending on the GSM module, the pins' requirements are different. Please follow the instructions for the related GSM module.

4. How to select baudRate to communicate with GSM module

  1. For GSM
// BaudRate to communicate to GSM/GPRS modem. If be limit to max 115200 inside modem
unsigned long baudRateSerialGSM  = 115200;

GSM gsmAccess;

gsmAccess.begin(baudRateSerialGSM, PINNUMBER);
  1. For GSMModem
// BaudRate to communicate to GSM/GPRS modem. If be limit to max 115200 inside modem
unsigned long baudRateSerialGSM  = 115200;

GSMModem gsmModem;

gsmModem.begin(baudRateSerialGSM);

5. How to load or not load SSL Root Certs onto GSM module NVM

The function prototype for SSL connect() functions are

virtual int connect(IPAddress ip, uint16_t port, bool loadRootCert = false);
virtual int connect(const char* host, uint16_t port, bool loadRootCert = false);
  1. To load Root Certs onto modem NVM (non-volatile memory), you have to call connect() with (loadRootCert == true)

This is necessary only once. The Root Certs will be stored in modem NVM

GSMSSLClient gsmClient;

gsmClient.connect(MQTT_SERVER, MQTT_PORT, true);
  1. To not load Root Certs onto modem NVM, you have to call connect() without third parameter => (loadRootCert == false)

This is done to save loading time because the Root Certs have been be previously stored in modem NVM.

GSMSSLClient gsmClient;

gsmClient.connect(MQTT_SERVER, MQTT_PORT);

Debug

Debug is enabled by default on Serial. Debug Level from 0 to 4. To disable, change the _GSM_GENERIC_LOGLEVEL_ to 0

#define DEBUG_GSM_GENERIC_PORT       Serial

// Debug Level from 0 to 5. Level 5 is to print out AT commands and responses
#define _GSM_GENERIC_LOGLEVEL_       5

Troubleshooting

If you get compilation errors, more often than not, you may need to install a newer version of the board's core or this library version.

Sometimes, the library will only work if you update the board core to the newer or older version because some function compatibility.
