Ah, I figured that could be the case, I was just hoping it would magically work on the dev branches of forkbomb :) I was tending to believe that the kernel modem driver was tested with the modem being at least able to register to the network (which currently not able do so on the mainline kernel), but it might be very possible it didn't register to the network even on the original 4.16 dev branch. I might test other kernels such as 4.17-5.2, but for the moment I shifted my focus to the work on the USB HOST support (I got the VBUS to work on LK 5.12, I'll post some details later in the corresponding issue).

It must be the host system or the toolchains, I was able to build and test as old kernels as 4.2 (those ones with the DTS, I was doing the downgrade just for testing purposes, to see if I was able to port some drivers from the smdk4412 kernel to the mainline). I've also tried manually toggling the suspend-req GPIOs but when I read > it in /sys/kernel/debug/gpio it stays high after the modem boot whereas > in the smdk4412 kernel it is low. > That's interesting, I'm new to the GPIO stuff, but that could probably be controlled by the bootloader itself? Or otherwise maybe it's only supposed to be set as low only at some modem booting stages (just some vague guesses, nothing more).

I made the backup of the modem and EFS partitions just in the case, but so far so good - haven't had to restore them. I sometimes use the 3-key combo to get to the recovery mode, to then change the kernel. For some reason, reboot or power off doesn't work on the mainline kernels for me, but this should probably be only related to my setup I use. I boot via the buildroot, which mounts ubuntu EXT4 image on the sdcard, then it calls switch_root into that mounted ubuntu image. The image doesn't unmount correctly upon the reboot and hangs here (from my understanding, because the sdcard is unmounted before the image could have been unmounted first). It's quite a surprise I didn't end up corrupting the data on the image just yet (which is mounted read-write), as it's probably expected to happen. вт, 30 мар. 2021 г. в 16:40, Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli < gnu...@cyberdimension.org>: > On Tue, 30 Mar 2021 10:00:14 +0300 > Victor Shilin <chrono.monochr...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi, > Hi, > > > 3.18 kernel uses the same modem driver as 3.0.101 one.
