Modem Ports

There are several ports for communicating with the modem on the Palm Pre:

  • /dev/modemuart: Modem UART (UART Port)
  • /dev/tts/modem0 (Symlink for ttyACM0): USB Serial to Modem for AT commands (Data Port)
  • /dev/tts/modemdiag (Symlink for ttyACM1): USB Serial to Modem for Diagnositics (DIAG Port)

sysfs Entries

  • Power Control: /sys/user_hw/pins/modem/power_on/level

Palm Programs for communicating with the modem

In /usr/bin are some interessting programs:

  • PmLinuxModemCmd: You can do some operations on the modem from command line
  • PmModemInfo: Shows you the IMEI and the version of the modem firmware
  • PmModemPower: A simple shell script to turn on/reset the modem
  • PmModemUpdater: Flash the modem with a new firmware

Through disassembling the PmLinuxModemCmd binary I found some binary sequences which indicates that the Pre communicates with the modem over a binary protocol.

The binary sequences are:
