At boot, when pressing the power button for a short time we get:

$ picocom -b 115200 /dev/ttyUSB1

Here the device boots, but if the button isn't pressed long enough it shuts down.

When pressing it for a longer time we get:

AST_POWERON

Here AST_POWERON probably means that there is a GPIO that can switch between the OMAP4 UART and the modem UART, and that at some point during the boot it's switched to the modem.

I tried to type AT commands like AT but I got no response. Maybe it's because I use the wrong voltage for the UART. Maybe I need to reset the modem through AT commands.

TODO:

• Measure the UART voltage somehow (output only ones and try to measure it)
• Try to see if it responds to AT reset and verbose commands
