Useful apps to add on your build

[stich86]

Hi @4IceG

I think it will be useful to have also:

• picocom (to access modem over serial and send AT commands)
• tcpdump or tcpdump-mini (for debugging)
• nlbwmon for bandwidth monitor

Thx :)

HI @stich86 No problem :), I can add the first two programs to the image, although the at commands can already be sent using sms-tool / atinout. I have already added a nice program to statistics wrtbwmon.

wrtbwmon

nice.. do you know if there is a cumulative counter? I've an offer of 150GB/month, so it will be nice to have an overview of consumed GB

I know that the package counts the total transfer, but personally I am more guided by the consumption of the operator, I have 200GB/m myself.

Hi @stich86 I have already added the packages: picocom and tcpdump.

[stich86]

can you add those packages:

• adb (use to access modem and push FOTA)
• curl

thx!

[4IceG]

Hi @stich86 Done ;)

[stich86]

sorry man, can you add also those packages (i'm trying to make QPST working on OpenWRT when modem is in EDL):

• kmod-usb-serial-qualcomm
• socat
• ser2net
• watchcat (+ luci)

thx!

[4IceG]

I have added packages, but I don't know what else watchcat for, since the image already contains packages:

• luci-app-internet-detector
• luci-app-lite-watchdog
