14.25 SPEED_ALARM
A GPS measurement completed and a speed violation occurred. The parameter [0-15] indicates
which Sensor Table was used.
14.26 TIMER
CONFIDENTIAL

Timer
Numbers
Timer Type
Description / Notes
0 - 9
Volatile
Value and status of these timers are lost when the modem powers
down. These timers should be used for general purpose timing
requirements. On power-up, all Volatile timers are set to disabled.
10 - 19
Non-Volatile
Value and status of these timers are stored in NVM. This type of timer is
used when timing data relating to an event or action must be maintained
during power off. When a Non-Volatile timer expires, it does not cause a
wake up of the modem, but does cause a timer event to be sent to the
application on the next power on.
20 - 29
Wake-Up
Wake-up timers are like nonvolatile timers, except that when a power
down is called, the Real-Time Clock (RTC) is programmed to wake up at
the timer expiration time (if this time is less than the specified power
down interval).
Time-Of-Day
These timers are identical to Wake-Up timers, except that the duration of
the timer is specified as an absolute time of day rather than relative to
the current time. Time-Of-Day Timers always expire within 24 hours.
30 - 39
14.27 TIME_SYNC
The time has been received from a source such as a satellite or GSM and the real-time clock has
been updated to the new time. Parameter one is the value of the change and should be
converted to a signed 32 value to ensure negative adjustments are accounted for.

This occurs when a software timer expires. The parameter [0-39] indicates which timer expired.
Timers may be set, examined and read using function calls such as TIMER_set(),
TIMER_clear(), TIMER_checkWakeup(), TIMER_setDuration() and
TIMER_getRemaining(). Note that in making calls to the timer utilities, a particular timer must
be selected. It is important to select a timer with the appropriate type for the intended use. The
types and properties of all timers are shown in Table 14-1.

14.28 USER_CMD
An Over-The-Air command was received. The parameter [0-255] indicates which action to take.
This is currently supported for ORBCOMM and GSM/GPRS networks.
When a USER_CMD is sent, byte 0 of the data represents how many user commands will be
sent. This is based on User Data Bytes 1-4 content in conjunction with User Byte 0’s value.
For example, using:
USER DATA BYTES
•
One USER_CMD event would be sent to the application.
•
It would be USER_CMD 255.
•
Notice that User Data Bytes 2-4 have no meaning.
CONFIDENTIAL
Example. 2: If the data bytes sent were 0x02 0xFF 0x00 0x00 0x00
•
Two USER_CMD events would be sent to the application.
•
They would be USER_CMD 255 and USER_CMD 0.
•
In this case User Data Bytes 3 and 4 have no meaning.
Example. 3: If the data bytes sent were 0x03 0x01 0x02 0x03 0x00
•
Three USER_CMD events would be sent to the application.
•
They would be USER_CMD 0, USER_CMD 1 and USER_CMD 3.
•
In this case User Byte 4 has no meaning.
Example. 4: If the data bytes sent were 0x04 0x01 0x02 0x03 0x0A
•
Four USER_CMD events would be sent to the application.
•
They would be USER_CMD 1, USER_CMD 2, USER_CMD 3, and USER_CMD 10.

15 QUAKE firmware and APIs
CONFIDENTIAL
Information classified Confidential - Do not copy (See last page for obligations)
Figure 15-1 shows the software architecture of the modem. The customer can write applications
that reside in the user space of the modem. The application makes use of the QUAKE
Application Programming Interface (API) to connect to the various tasks and drivers operating on
the modem. The custom application is either developed by the customer utilizing QUAKE’s API,
or by QUAKE’s engineering development services.
Figure 15-1: Software block diagram for fully loaded modem
The QUAKE foundation is statically linked as a single module. Only one customer module may
be dynamically linked to the foundation at a time. If a customer requires dynamically linked
modules in their application, they must design their own methods for linking in multiple objects.
Global variables are not linked between modules; however, customers may define and use their
own global variables. APIs must be explicitly declared by placing them in the function table and
the application cannot link to functions that are not provided in the API, even if they are in the
code. To add more functions, the user may build their own function table in memory and then
pass that address to other modules. That same mechanism can be used to create a ‘global
structure’ that contains all ‘global variables’ that can be passed to all modules.

It is not necessary to understand the operation of each of these modules in detail. The API
Function Reference provides the information that an application programmer is likely to need,
listing the functions available, information about the parameters and returns for the functions, as
well as additional notes and example code. A brief overview of the firmware modules, including
an overview of the module’s purpose and description of the more common calls, is provided
below.
15.1 ADC module (Analog to Digital Converter)
The ADC module provides access to the analog to digital converter hardware on the
Q4000/QPRO. The value of external analog inputs in the range 0 to 3.5 V applied to pins 29 and
31 of the external connector, may be read using the ADC_readChannel() function. As noted
in the API Function Reference, ADC_readChannel() should be called from a single task,
usually the application task.
15.2 APL module (Applications)
The APL module implements certain features which may be needed by specific applications. If
an application is designed to handle a specific AT command set, such as from an external
modem, APL_registerATCmdHandler() is used to register the handler for that device.
Messages specific to that type of AT command are sent to the application using the queue set up
by the function APL_msgQueueCreate(). Executables that an application needs to download
can be transferred into application memory via APL_loadObjects(). Other related APIs are
provided by the module described in the API Function Reference.
15.3 DIO module (Digital Input/Output)
There are 8 digital input/output lines on the Q4000/QPRO, accessed through pins 32-39. The
DIO module provides APIs to manipulate this hardware. Lines may be configured individually as
either inputs or outputs using the DIO_config(chan, direction) function, where the
second parameter may be either DIO_INPUT (0) or DIO_OUTPUT (1). All DIOs configured as
inputs have a weak pull-down resistor in the input circuitry, so an open is reliably sensed as low.
The 8 lines may be read as a group using DIO_readAll(). The nth bit in the value returned by
the call will be 1 or 0 when the nth channel is high or low, respectively. Lines configured as
outputs may be written by DIO_writeChannel().

QUAKE modems contain factory-installed foundation firmware that consists of the following
components:
User Guide to Q4000/QPRO
15.4 FFS module (Flash)
The Q4000/QPRO uses a FLASH File System (FFS). This FFS was designed specifically to be
robust and immune to problems encountered during uncontrolled power downs. FFS calls are
abstracted through a QUAKE FFS_ layer similar to the SYS layer, with calls such as
FFS_open(), FFS_read(), FFS_write(), FFS_close(). The application does not need
direct access to the FFS. However, the FFS_ calls are available if a custom application requires
them, and are intended to provide the same types of standard ‘C’ calls that are available for
accessing a UNIX file system
The FTP module implements the file transport protocol for transferring files, typically containing
large amounts of data, on terrestrial networks. Currently, FTP transfers are supported only on
the terrestrial network. The supported functions are described in the API Function Reference.
CONFIDENTIAL
15.6 GPS module (Global Positioning System)
The GPS module supports finding the location, speed, heading, and altitude of the Q4000/QPRO
using the Global Positioning System. In addition, for Q4000/QPROs so equipped, the GPS is
used to obtain an accurate time to synchronize the real-time clock. Use of the GPS module is
demonstrated in the Turnkey sample application (see Section 2.6); however, the call to the key
GPS function GPS_read() is also made routinely in all the DemoAppXXX sample applications.
As seen in those examples, GPS_read() does everything needed to set up the GPS engine and
get a valid fix. When the fix is found, a POSITION_FIX event is posted to the application so that
the application can take appropriate action. Once a position fix has been made, the application
can retrieve the fix information using GPS_getPosData()to retrieve all the GPS information into
a structure of type GPS_Sample.
In addition, the GPS module provides a number of utility functions related to the GPS facility.
These are described in detail in the API Function Reference.
15.7 TERR module (Terrestrial)
The Terrestrial module supports communication over the terrestrial
GSM/GPRS/GSM/TCP/UDP/SMS networks. For sending a message from the application, the
module provides MSG_sendTerr(); for receiving a message, the application calls
MSG_receiveTerr(). Note also the event CELL_NET_IN_VIEW which provides information to
the application about the status of the cellular/GSM network and the fact that a MSG_ACK event is
posted when a GSM message has been successfully sent. The module provides a number of
additional utilities which may be useful in special circumstances which are described in the API
Function Reference.
15.8 ORBCOMM modules
OSI modules provide ORBCOMM support. The OSI module implements code to support the
ORBCOMM Serial Interface and related features. It is available on Q4000/QPROs with the
ORBCOMM satellite transceiver. The OSI is described in the ORBCOMM Serial Interface
Specification. A typical use of the module and transceiver is shown in the DemoAppGSM sample
application in Section 12.4.1.

15.5 FTP module (File Transfer)
User Guide to Q4000/QPRO
An ORBCOMM packet is constructed specifying a particular type of ORBCOMM message, based
on packet descriptions in the ORBCOMM Serial Interface Specification. The packet is queued to
the OSI using MSG_queueOsiPkt(). The module contains utilities as well as functions to
read and write ORBCOMM parameters (CFG_getValOrb()and CFG_setValOrb()). The
QUAKE event structure provides the application easy access to much of the ORBCOMM
functionality; for example, in the SAT_IN_VIEW, MESSAGE_ACK, and RX_SER_PKT cases,
which are executed when the corresponding event is posted. A message received by the
Q4000/QPRO is handled by the application in the appropriate sub-case of the RX_SER_PKT
case.
CONFIDENTIAL
The J1939 module supports use of the Controller Area Network (CAN) hardware, and the
protocols using CAN. Currently, J1939 is the only CAN protocol supported. Most calls to setup
and configure the CAN hardware and J1939 stack are handled automatically by the foundation
code. Typically, an application would request a J1939 message containing a particular
Parameter Group Number (PGN) using the call J1939_getPgnMsg().
The structure for a QCAN_J1939Msg can be found in User_libQuake.h. The offsets for
various SPNs (Suspect Parameter Numbers) in the message data buffer are specified by the
Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), and described in their document, J1939-71. In the
DemoAppCAN example, the application requests and receives a specific PGN and SPN from the
message. The application structure is set to field a CAN_MSG event, in the corresponding
CAN_MSG case. In the rare case in which a desired PGN is not spontaneously transmitted on the
bus, an request for that PGN must be transmitted, using the API call
J1939_txRequestMsg().
15.10 QCFG module (Configuration)
The QCFG module provides an interface to manipulate QUAKE’s configuration parameters. The
current set of QUAKE parameters may be viewed from the Logger port of the Q4000/QPRO; in
the Logger type ‘U’ ‘C’ ‘v’. Parameters may be numeric or strings. The API call to this module is
QCfg_getQCfgPtr(), which returns a pointer to the configuration structure.
15.11 QEV module (Events)
The QEV module implements functions related to QUAKE’s event processing. The application
relies on the event processing supported in the foundation code, by executing code when specific
events are posted to the application. This activity can be seen in all of the DemoApps in
Section 12.4. In addition, the application may post an event by calling QEV_sendEvent().
The public APIs in this module also provide the utility, QEV_getEventDefinition(), which
returns a pointer to the name of the event whose number is passed as a parameter.
15.12 QLM module (Logger)
The Logger port of the QUAKE modems provides a wealth of information and functionality.
Typically, messages about modem status such as downlink information, state transitions, or error
messages are printed to the Logger port. Debug and Utility menus and features are accessed
from the Logger port. The QLM module’s public APIs allow the application to post messages to
the Logger using LOG_print() or to suspend Logger output entirely using LOG_suspend().
The function, LOG_logErrorMsg()provides a way to print error messages to the Logger,

complete with the name of the function in which the error occurred, the line number, and a string
identifying the type of error.
Note:
The message packet should not be freed by the application; this is done by the
foundation code.
The QMM module implements QUAKE’s Message Manager. The firmware code in the module
checks for network availability, and handles the details of transferring messages from one
network to another based on availability. This is all transparent to the application. The primary
public API implemented in this module is MSG_send(); this and other APIs for actions such as
deleting messages and getting a current message count are described in the API Function
Reference.
CONFIDENTIAL
15.14 SYS module (System)
On the Q4000/QPRO, the Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) is abstracted to QUAKE calls so
that regardless of any changes to the underlying RTOS calls, the APIs available on QUAKE
modems remain constant. This abstraction is performed by the SYS module. Functionality to
manage tasks and message queues is provided with names like SYS_taskCreate() or
SYS_taskSuspend()which clearly indicate the functionality to any application developer
familiar with using an RTOS on an embedded target. For most applications, no direct calls to the
SYS module need to be made since the foundation code and the event driven architecture allow
complex applications to be developed without direct calls to the RTOS. For those applications
that need direct RTOS access, however, it is provided by the SYS module.
SYS_pwrDown() is used to power down the Q4000/QPRO in a controlled fashion. Everything
is shut off cleanly in the correct order, ensuring that on a subsequent reboot no data will have
been lost and the Q4000/QPRO is in an appropriate state.
15.15 SERIAL module
Access to the serial ports is provided by the QUAKE Serial Manager module. One goal in
developing SERIAL was to provide a high-level serial interface that allows different tasks, such as
OSI, QCT, or an AT protocol, that are managing different serial protocols, to share a single
physical serial port. These sorts of activities are handled by the foundation and should not be
needed by the application. Calls to SERIAL_readBytes() and SERIAL_write() allow
the application to read and write to the serial ports. The UARTPORTS are enumerated in
User_libQuake.h. SERIAL_openPort and SERIAL_closePort are provided, as well as
SERIAL_portFlush, and are described in the API Function Reference.
15.16 RELAY module
The RELAY module provides access to the relay hardware on the Q4000/QPRO. Four relay lines
are implemented. Two of them, UBATT0 and UBATT1, when asserted, provide closure to the
supply voltage at pins 25 and 27, respectively. The other two, GND0 and GND1, when asserted,
provide closure to ground at pins 26 and 28. The RELAY_CHAN_NAME type is enumerated in
User_libQuake.h. The RELAY module APIs allow the application to read the state of the lines or
assert or deassert the lines by individual channel number.

15.13 QMM module (Messages)
User Guide to Q4000/QPRO
15.17 UART module
The UART module provides direct access to the serial hardware on the Q4000/QPRO.
Application access to the serial ports should be made through the SERIAL module, described in
Section 15.15. SERIAL allows the foundation firmware to exercise more control and oversight.
For those applications requiring more direct access, the public API to the UART module is
UART_ioctl(), which allows the parity, stop bits and baud rate to be set for serial ports.
15.18 UTL module (Utilities)
15.19 VSWR module (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio)
CONFIDENTIAL
The single public API in the VSWR module is ANT_readVswrOrb(). This reports the last
VSWR reading of the ORBCOMM antenna. Notes in the API Function Reference give details on
interpreting the reading.

The UTL module proves a number of utility functions. Some allow manipulation of the QUAKE
software counters and timers, such as CNTR_set(), and CNTR_read() or the system’s realtime clock, such as SYS_readSeconds(). The API Function Reference should be consulted
for a current list with complete descriptions.

Additional notes: This parameter works in conjunction with parameter 0x22 (ser_pkt_timeout). It specifies the number
of attempts the modem will make to re-send a packet (to the application) that it does not receive a valid Link Level
Acknowledgement (LLACK) packet for. For example: The modem receives a modem-T message from the network
and ser_max_retries (0x21) is set to a value of 3. The modem will make its initial attempt to send this packet to the
application. If the application does not return a valid LLACK packet, the modem will wait X number of seconds
(specified by parameter 0x22) and then try to resend the packet. In this example, it would retry 3 times before
discarding the packet.

Appendix D - Debug and utility menus
QUAKE Global provides a large group of debug and utility menus which are accessible via the
Logger port. These menus allow the user to send and receive messages and email, view
operational performance, conduct serial tests and many more functions. Some of the menus
require a password and are accessible to QUAKE personnel only. The menus are accessible
from the Logger port using the following settings:
115200 bps
None
None
CONFIDENTIAL
Two different commands can be used to enter the menus, either ‘d’ (debug) or ‘U’ (utility). Each
command will display a listing of debug or utility menus respectively. Each menu can be entered
by typing the corresponding letter code in the list. The list of letter codes for either menu can be
displayed by typing ‘?’. For example, ‘d’ ‘?’ gives the list of letter codes (commands) for all the
debug menus listed under ‘d’.

17 Load conditions
•
send messages on the GSM/GPRS port at 115200 bps continuously
•
send messages via satellite network continuously
•
use MTS port at 115200 bits per second (bps)
•
use AUX port at 115200 bps
The AUX port
• maximum speed is 57600 bps
• may not be available on certain configurations of the Q4000/QPRO. The
Q4000/QPRO with Iridium or Inmarsat, for example, does not have the AUX port
available.
CONFIDENTIAL
Note:
•
continuously obtain GPS fixes
•
run Logger port at debug level 6
•
access CAN bus messages by providing the desired PGN.
•
As long as filtering is done in foundation, a fully loaded CAN bus at 250 Kbps is
supported. Raw CAN bus filtering cannot be done at the application level
because the input queue can quickly overflow if the ORBCOMM module is
running (see Note below).
•
continuously run OSI protocol at 115200
•
perform OTA upgrades
•
CPU load can reach 85-90% during these loading conditions.
Note:
For CAN usage:
• at high load and 30 PGNs, CPU usage is 26%
• at moderate load and 30 PGNs, CPU usage is 16%
• adding the reception of 10 PGNs per second increases the load by 2-3%.
Note:
The Logger port, if used by the customer to receive data, should not be run above
19200. It could drop bytes otherwise. The Logger port should be used for debugging
purposes only.
