Sierra Wireless Gobi 2000 HS-USB NMEA 9001 (COM5) - there are 3 drivers found for the selected device, which you can download from our website for free. Select the driver needed and press download. Aug 11, 2015 How to Install a CSA & Gobi 2000 Driver in the Panasonic Toughbook CF-31 Bob Johnson's Computer Stuff Inc. Watch this tutorial to learn tips on how to properly Install the Gobi 2000 Driver.
The updated motherboard is compatible with AM3 and AM3+ processors and boasts a bunch of advanced solutions. Among the most striking innovations implemented by Asus, the substitute of old-fashioned JMicron JMB362 controller by a more progressive controller from ASMedia added to the board's functionality. In addition, the manufacturer supplemented the layout with one more ASMedia ASM1042 controller that allowed to integrate USB 3.0 interface. The implemented in earlier version micro scheme Realtek RTL8111E has been also substituted by RTL8111F scheme; at the same time, IEEE 1394a interface has been totally …

Firmware
The firmware for this device is not publicly downloadable. It consists of 3 files:
Obtaining the Firmware
There are two ways of obtaining the firmware files:
For enabling GPS, you will need a Windows installation with the Qualcomm Gobi 2000 Wireless WAN Driver installed, anyhow.
Choosing the Right Firmware
The firmware images are located in 11 directories. In general, each 'officially' supported carrier has its own directory, as depicted in table 'Firmware Images'. The revision can be found in every file. The amms and apps files have the same revision and this one is reported by the
AT I command. The internal name of the UQCN file shows whether the firmware is for UMTS or CDMA2000. If your UMTS carrier is not listed, the default firmware and the generic UMTS firmware should work as their revisions match. The table 'Non-listed Carrier Compatibility' summarizes the experiences of the Talk page.
Loading the Firmware
The firmware for this device must be loaded prior to using the device. It persists in the memory of the device until the next cold boot. Then, it has to be loaded again. The firmware can be loaded automatically via udev using the gobi_loader application[2]. This application expects the firmware image files (amss.mbn, apps.mbn, and UQCN.mbn) in /lib/firmware/gobi/. Thus, create this directory as root, when it does not exist, and copy the appropriate firmware files into the directory. The previous section helps you to obtain the correct files.
Technically, the firmware loading interface is exposed over USB as id 05c6:9204 which can be accessed as a character (ttyUSB) device under Linux using the qcserial driver. After successfully loading the firmware, the device switches to the USB id 05c6:9205 and exposes three character devices (ttyUSB).
Modem
After the firmware is loaded, the modem is exposed over USB as id 05c6:9205 which can be accessed as a character (ttyUSB) device. Normal dial-up software can be used to create a 3G connection.
GPS
Since kernel 2.6.37, or with a small kernel patch (submitted upstream: [3]), two additional serial ports are available:Diagnostics Monitor and NMEA GPS. The three serial ports are:
There is a PPA for the qcserial module for Ubuntu 10.10 which uses DKMS: ppa:dveeden/thinkpad-fixes.
If you have another serial USB device activated before the Gobi the ttyUSB-numbers will certainly change.
The Diagnostics Monitor uses Qualcomm's DM protocol; I used libqcdm (ModemManager) to talk to it, found it working, but at least DM commands 12 and 64 are not implemented on my device (Thinkpad x100e).
The GPS port and how to enable it has been confirmed now in the Gobi 3000 source code at: https://www.codeaurora.org/patches/quic/gobi/ Enable/disable GPS with:
Preconditions: this has only been tested with and without a 3G SIM card attached to the device and the firmware successfully loaded. It is not necessary though to be connected via 3G to be able to use GPS.
Also before you can use '$GPS_START/$GPS_STOP' feature, 'Auto tracking' has to be enabled in the Options of the ThinkVantage GPS Windows application. The ThinkVantage GPS Windows application works with a clean Windows installation in a virtualizer that supports USB. However, it requires the Qualcomm Gobi 2000 Wireless WAN Driver to be installed.
You will need to enable it only once.
To verify if the device is in the right mode use gpscat
You could use gpsctl to verify if gpsd detected the device correctly:
Detection can take a few minutes.
If gpsd didn't detect the serial port the use the following line:
Use xgps or cgps to verify if the GPS has a fix. If it does have a fix you could use TangoGPS or any other GPS tool which uses gpsd.
To use GPS for time synchronization add the following lines to /etc/ntp.conf:
The 0.183 is for NMEA 0183
If it works it will look like this:
Gobi Qualcomm 2000 Driver HpCarrier specific configurations
Each device is intended to be used with a specific carrier, and is shipped with firmware to support that carrier. Notebooks are often also shipped with a pre-installed SIM. Other carriers may work by loading a different firmware version. The 'generic UMTS' stage 3 firmware is known to with with O2, an unsupported UK carrier. See above for a list of known firmware files.
It may be illegal or a breach of contract in various countries to bypass a carrier lock
Troubleshooting
Some users have experienced the modem entering a strange state in which it refuses any attempt of loading the firmware.There seem to be at least two ways to reset the modem to get it working as normally again:
1) try to disable WWAN in BIOS and boot your computer.Then shut down it, and enable WWAN again. OR:
2) remove the AC adapter as well as the battery pack and then hold the power button for some time (approx 30 sec. - 1 min.).Then insert the battery again and boot as usual.
