nRF-Modem

crates.io Documentation

This is a library that provides a high-level async API for the nRF9160 modem.

It can be used with any executor.

Errors and recovery

Dropping LteLink and Gnss (which also include all sockets and GnssStream) can lead to the modem staying active. There's an internal mutex that can be locked. Panicking is the only sane reaction to that. If you have a better idea, please open an issue or PR! The async deactivate function is way less likely to go wrong and you'll get a Result back so you know that something has gone wrong.

If anything does go wrong, has_runtime_state_error() will return true. Everything should stay working, but it's likely that the modem won't be properly turned off. This can be recovered by calling the reset_runtime_state() function when you've made sure nothing of the modem is used anymore.

Setup

There are a couple of things you must do to be able to use the library.

First of which, make sure to have the llvm-tools installed. This can be done using rustup component add llvm-tools-preview.

The library also needs some libc functions. The best way to import them is with tinyrlibc. As of writing the newest release is 0.3.0. This version does not include a needed API, so it's better to include the latest master branch or any newer released version.

This library has been tested with modem firmware version 1.3.4 but might work with earlier versions. When this library starts to require a newer version, then that will be seen as a breaking change. But it's easy to miss something, so this is a 'best effort' guarantee only.

Nonsecure

Nordic has made it so that the modem can only be used when in the nonsecure context. Make sure you are in that context by using e.g. the SPM.

Interrupts

The EGU1 and IPC interrupts must be routed to the modem software.

// Interrupt Handler for LTE related hardware. Defer straight to the library.
#[interrupt]
#[allow(non_snake_case)]
fn IPC() {
    nrf_modem::ipc_irq_handler();
}

let mut cp = unwrap!(cortex_m::Peripherals::take());

// Enable the modem interrupts
unsafe {
    NVIC::unmask(pac::Interrupt::IPC);
    cp.NVIC.set_priority(pac::Interrupt::IPC, 0 << 5);
}

Power

The DC/DC converter is automatically enabled for you when the library is initialized. This is required for certified operation of the modem.

Initialization

Now it's time to initialize the library. Here you can make a selection for the connectivity for the modem:

nrf_modem::init(SystemMode {
    lte_support: true,
    lte_psm_support: true,
    nbiot_support: true,
    gnss_support: true,
    preference: ConnectionPreference::None,
})
.await
.unwrap();

Now the library is ready to be used.

AT Commands

let response = nrf_modem::send_at::<64>("AT+CGMI").await.unwrap();
assert_eq!(response, "AT+CGMI\n\rNordic Semiconductor ASA\n\rOK\n\r");

DNS request

let google_ip = nrf_modem::get_host_by_name("www.google.com").await.unwrap();

Tcp connection

let stream = nrf_modem::TcpStream::connect(SocketAddr::from((google_ip, 80))).await.unwrap();

stream
    .write("GET / HTTP/1.0\nHost: google.com\r\n\r\n".as_bytes())
    .await
    .unwrap();

let mut buffer = [0; 1024];
let received = stream.receive(&mut buffer).await.unwrap();

println!("Google response: {}", core::str::from_utf8(received).unwrap());

// Drop the stream async (normal Drop is ok too, but that's blocking)
stream.deactivate().await.unwrap();

Udp socket

let socket =
    nrf_modem::UdpSocket::bind(SocketAddr::from_str("0.0.0.0:53").unwrap())
        .await
        .unwrap();

// Do a DNS request
socket
    .send_to(
        &[
            0xdb, 0x42, 0x01, 0x00, 0x00, 0x01, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x03, 0x77,
            0x77, 0x77, 0x0C, 0x6E, 0x6F, 0x72, 0x74, 0x68, 0x65, 0x61, 0x73, 0x74, 0x65, 0x72,
            0x6E, 0x03, 0x65, 0x64, 0x75, 0x00, 0x00, 0x01, 0x00, 0x01,
        ],
        SocketAddr::from_str("8.8.8.8:53").unwrap(),
    )
    .await
    .unwrap();
let (response, source_addr) = socket.receive_from(&mut buffer).await.unwrap();

println!("Result: {:X}", response);
println!("Source: {}", source_addr);
