Recently, I am working on this issue '
Use GTA02 GSM Passthrough mode as external Android GSM modem' and the goal is to use Beagle board as a platform. Since we are still using cupcake in beagle board, I choose to use Android emulator with latest donut in the beginning. When we have donut image in beagle board, i will switch it on that time.
In Android emulator, it would use a qemud socket as GSM modem and it can simulate GSM network. Like camp to GSM base station (Android 3G :P), receive incoming call, dial out a phone call, has a simulated SIM Card, send SMS messages....etc. In my previous article about
tracing RIL, I tried to run two emulators and made a phone call to each other. It's pretty fun, coz it can simulate real GSM network.
But it's still a fake one, not real GSM network, it doesn't camp to the nearby network like your mobile does. Therefore..... I changed few lines and made Android emulator to run an external GSM modem. Here is my experiment!
rild: allow it to use other GSM device in qemu

where is pty? how do I know it? it's from
Thomas! I was co-working with him about
gsmd and
dialer UI in 2007.
Running emulator with serial port option
erin@daydreamer:~/android/mydroid_emu/out$ ./host/linux-x86/bin/emulator -system ./target/product/generic/system.img -sysdir ./target/product/generic/system -data ./target/product/generic/userdata.img -kernel ../prebuilt/android-arm/kernel/kernel-qemu -ramdisk ./target/product/generic/ramdisk.img -qemu -serial /dev/pts/2
Cannot receive any incoming callI was stuck on this case and it would send hangup command to any incoming calls without any notification UI. I found this issue is a
known one and we can set '
Settings.Secure.DEVICE_PROVISIONED' to 1. Then no problem now.
What it can do now?* Camp to GSM network
* Dial out a phone call
* Receive an incoming call
* Send SMS
* Receive SMS
