Including le_mrc causes errors on very simple app

I’m using the following command to build and install the app. mkapp -t wp77xx -i $LEGATO_ROOT/interfaces/modemServices data_test/data_app.adef && app install data_app.wp77xx.update 192.168.2.2

I’ve tried with and without the -i flag.

Here’s the adef, cdef, and c files, and their directory structure.

data_test
|- cellular
| |- cellular.c
| |- Component.cdef
|- data_app.adef


data_app.adef

start:manual
version: 0.0.1

executables:{
    data_app = (cellular)
}

processes:{
	run:{
		(data_app)
	}
}

bindings:{
	data_app.cellular.le_mrc -> modemService.le_mrc
}

Component.cdef

start:manual
version: 0.0.1

executables:{
	data_app = (cellular)
}

processes:{
	run:{
		(data_app)
	}
}

bindings:{
	data_app.cellular.le_mrc -> modemService.le_mrc
}

cellular.c

#include "legato.h"
#include "interfaces.h"

le_onoff_t cellular_onoff;

COMPONENT_INIT{

	LE_INFO("Will the program even start, or is it the le_mrc api inclusion?");

	for(int i = 0; i<1000; i++){
		usleep(1000);
	}

    le_mrc_ConnectService();

	le_mrc_GetRadioPower(&cellular_onoff);

	if(cellular_onoff == LE_OFF){
		LE_INFO("Modem is off.");
	}else{
		LE_INFO("Modem is on.");
	}

	exit(0);
}

Log output when the program is run. Note the timestamp is not correct.

If I remove all references to the mrc api and its function calls, then it compiles and runs just fine. Although if everything is removed then the app does absolutely nothing useful…

It sounds like this error has to do with the IPC protocol of the app. In any case if anyone has any input, I’d love to hear how you overcame this, or a functional workaround.

you can have a look on sample application modemDemo on how to use the le_mrc.

BTW, why do you add the exit(0); in your program?

I’ve read the documentation. I’ve looked through most of the apps in the legato github repository. None of the commit comments indicate problems like this.

To answer the question about why I included exit(0):

  1. Habit
  2. Without exit(0) the app manager doesn’t know the program has finished, and subsequent calls to app status indicate the program is still running.

You can start with the modemdemo app as it should be working fine

“should be working fine” doesn’t mean it’s documented well. This is as much a question of documentation as is it towards why including this API results in a program that compiles but won’t run.

I am sorry that i don’t quite understand why you don’t start with the modemDemo application which already is working fine but sticking with your application which causes errors.

The modemDemo app compiles, and returns the exact same problem as I’ve demonstrated with my code. This is why I pulled back the layers until I skimmed everything I could away from the app. It seems like the inclusion of this API isn’t working.

@dfrey care to chime in?

How did you run the modemDemo app?
In my side, I run the following command
app runProc modemDemo1 send --exe=send -- 1234567 "Online"

After that I can establish data connection in WP76 FW 13.

Fixed it. After recompiling leaf and reflashing the module both programs run fine.

Hello @CT1 @jyijyi , How did you manage to solve this issue on the MangoH red board. I am also facing a similar issue. I tried the modemDemo example but I am getting the same error:-

I found my settings for the leaf profile mismatched the firmware/software on the modem, and so the code was compiled wrong, and that’s why it was throwing the error.
Use legato version on the mangoh board to tell you exactly which revision of software it’s running, then on your host use leaf profile to double check the revision is the same on your current profile. Follow these directions to set up a new profile with the correct firmware version, OR, flash new firmware to the mangoh board.
