Using the USB port with Linux or Android
To use the modem’s USB port, you must first decide which driver you will need to modify.
This decision depends on both your application and the kernel version that your
application is built on. There are three different drivers that the modem uses: the USB
Serial driver, the CDC-ECM driver and the CDC-MBIM driver.
If you are using kernel
2.6.12 – 2.6.21
then only the USB Serial driver is supported. The
USB Serial driver provides the following ports:
Modem Port
: General purpose port used for interaction between the system and the
module. PPP dial-up connections are created over this port.
PCUI Port:
Used to send AT commands to the modem.
DIAG Port:
This port is reserved.
GPS Control Port:
Used to send GPS commands to the modem.
GPS Interface Port:
Used to send out detailed GPS NMEA information.
If you are using Kernel version
2.6.22 – 3.8
you can use the CDC ECM driver or the
USB Serial driver. The CDC ECM driver allows you to send Ethernet over USB.
If you are using Kernel
3.9 or later
you can use the CDC-MBIM driver, the CDC-ECM
driver, or the USB serial driver. The CDC-MBIM (Mobile Broadband Interface Module) is
an interface that was specifically designed for mobile broadband devices.
To find more information about modifying the built-in Linux drivers to make them work in
your system, please download the Huawei application note

Integrating the Radio Interface Layer with Android based Systems
Android based OS’s communicate with the modem through the Huawei Radio Interface
Layer (RIL). The RIL converts generic requests from Android’s RIL Daemon (RILD) into
specific AT commands used by the modem. To learn how to integrate the RIL into your
Android system, see the Huawei application note
