在ARM平台上实现4G模块的PPP拨号上网，参考网上的资料和自己的理解，从一无所知到开发完成花了一周多。最后看到ARM板ping通时甚是高兴，现将此过程整理如下。当然，除此之外要做的工作还有很多。
4G模块使用的SIMTECH 的SIM7100C，SIM7100C带有UART和USB接口，在考虑速度上我们使用USB接口和ARM进行通信。所以向linux内核添加3G模块的驱动(USB转串口驱动)和PPP协议的支持，然后编译内核并下载到开发板。
1. 编译内核
◇ 大容量存储驱动
> Device Drivers > USB support
make ARCH=arm menuconfig配置USB驱动：
<*> USB Mass Storage support
[*] USB Mass Storage verbose debug
<*> Realtek Card Reader support
[*] Realtek Card Reader autosuspend support
<*> Datafab Compact Flash Reader support
◇ USB驱动
> Device Drivers > USB support
<*> Inventra Highspeed Dual Role Controller (TI, ADI, ...)
MUSB Mode Selection (Dual Role mode) --->
<*> Platform Glue Layer (TI DSPS platforms) --->
MUSB DMA mode (Disable DMA (always use PIO)) --->
<*> USB Serial Converter support --->
[*] USBGeneric Serial Driver
<*> USBdriver for GSM and CDMA modems
◇ PPP驱动
> Device Drivers > Network device support
<*> PPP (point-to-point protocol) support
<*> PPP BSD-Compress compression
<*> PPP Deflate compression
[*] PPP filtering
<*> PPP MPPE compression (encryption)
[*] PPP multilink support
<*> PPP over Ethernet
<*> PPP support for async serial ports
<*> PPP support for sync tty ports
<*> SLIP (serial line) support
[*] CSLIP compressed headers
2. 交叉编译libusb
下载usblib库和libusb-compat
https://sourceforge.net/projects/libusb/files/
root@linuxidc:/opt/usb-tools/libusb-1.0.20# mkdir install
configure: error: "udev support requested but libudev not installed"(解决：添加--disable-udev)
root@linuxidc:/opt/usb-tools/libusb-1.0.20# ./configure --host=arm-none-linux-gnueabi --prefix=/opt/usb-tools/libusb-1.0.20/install --disable-udev
root@linuxidc:/opt/usb-tools/libusb-1.0.20# make
root@linuxidc:/opt/usb-tools/libusb-1.0.20# make install
root@linuxidc:/opt/usb-tools/libusb-1.0.20# export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/usb-tools/libusb-1.0.20/install/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH
root@linuxidc:/opt/usb-tools/libusb-1.0.20# echo $PKG_CONFIG_PATH
编译libusb-compat：
root@linuxidc:/opt/usb-tools/libusb-compat-0.1.5# ./configure --host=arm-none-linux-gnueabi --prefix=/opt/usb-tools/libusb-compat-0.1.5/install
root@linuxidc:/opt/usb-tools/libusb-compat-0.1.5# make
root@linuxidc:/opt/usb-tools/libusb-compat-0.1.5# make install
将生成的libusb-1.0.20和libusb-compat-0.1.5下的库文件复制到ARM板上的linux的/lib下面即可。
3. 交叉编译4G模块驱动
交叉编译GobiSerial.c(ARCH=arm CC=arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc)，得到GobiSerial.ko。复制到ARM板安装驱动
#insmod GobiSerial.ko
4. 查看驱动运行状况
插上4G模块，虚拟出6个ttyUSB，它们分别是：
root@am335x-evm:/# ls /dev/ttyUSB*
/dev/ttyUSB0 /dev/ttyUSB1 /dev/ttyUSB2 /dev/ttyUSB3 /dev/ttyUSB4 /dev/ttyUSB5
1) /dev/ttyUSB0-diag port for output developing messages
2) /dev/ttyUSB1- NMEA port for GPS NMEA data output
3) /dev/ttyUSB2-AT port for AT commands
4) /dev/ttyUSB3-Modem port for ppp-dial
5) /dev/ttyUSB4-audio port
6) /dev/ttyUSB5-Virtual Net card
插上U盘，提示设备运行：
[75097.986054] usb 2-1: New USB device found, idVendor=058f, idProduct=6387
[75097.993167] usb 2-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3
[75098.000689] usb 2-1: Product: Mass Storage

[75098.009342] usb 2-1: SerialNumber: AC3DF2EE
[75098.024341] usb-storage 2-1:1.0: USB Mass Storage device detected
[75098.049922] scsi0 : usb-storage 2-1:1.0
lsusb命令查看结果：
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 1e0e:9001
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 058f:6387
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002

5. 交叉编译PPP
6. 拨号脚本设置

ABORT "DELAYED"
ABORT "BUSY"

6. 拨号
root@am335x-evm: pppd call gprsdial
6. 测试
拨号之后进行测试，发现可以ping通ip但是无法ping通域名。这需要设置/etc/resolv.conf来添加DNS解析服务器的地址
