How, hardware wise, do you get the Sierra EM7565 to work with the Turris Omnia? Correct me if I am wrong, but the EM7565 is a M.2 device, and I don’t see any M.2 slots of the Turris Omnia? Also, what do you do about the SIM card?
Buy a M2 to MiniPCIe adapter and put it on the free miniPCIe slot with ist over the SIM slot. Set the EM7565 in windows to the right modus (QMI or MBIM), config the LTE-Band witch want to use. Now turn the EM7565 in turris omnia and connect to the network.
I use MBIM to connect to my LTE network, and it is working great. With some changes in the mbim.sh the modul is working great. I also set up a connection checker - this script is pinging 3 diffrent ips. If all 3 IPs says “ping timeout” it will make an automatic usb-reset of the device, because mbim has somtimes problems with an reconnect.
If this is the case, I guess that means I can use the EM7565 with any device that has a Mini-PCIe right? Before I was looking for boards the M.2 that had a SIM slot, and that was a very hard thing to find.
There are quite a few boards out there with minipci-e and a sim slot. What would happen if I used the adapter in a minipci-e slot that already had a SIM on it? Could you use it in either one, or would it flat out not work?
the EM7565 is connected via USB to the turris omnia. You can configure it.
I dont know, what happen, if you use a board with a sim card slot. I think you can use this one, or the other one in turris omnia. My board dont has a sim slot - and it work great.
Hello,
we ordered Sierra EM7565 for testing and I’ll let you know, if there is something new about it.
Currently we added patch for it, which is currently in nightly.
We (users of lteforum.at) found a way to get the AT-Interface in turris (MBIM mode), without the kernel patch. But its only a workaround. So great to hear you added the patch.
Router got update in this night. Disabled our workaround before updating.

could i have a look at your connection checking script, Im using an MC7455 in a zbt router in a dmz which supply’ wan to my omnia, but the cellular connection drops randomly.
I am considering buying this modem. @Sin10 are you still using it?
I am trying to find a good offer for the modem and minipcie adapter.
For the modem I found one.
But for the adapter… Is the adapter a ‘key E adapter’ that I need? I am confused with all this M.2 standards.
