And about the interface to lockdown, is it a D-BUS message? good one ;) We know that we need such or similar feature for firmware updates where we have to essentially shutdown oFono from driving the modem for a period of time. The details are not 100% clear. For firmware updates this has to be a D-Bus method, actually D-Bus property on the modem interface. In theory we can even extend this to do this internally as well. So that an oFono plugin could lock down the modem. Things we clearly have to figure out at some point. > >There is a framework for card services in general, but I think that is > just pure overhead for this. > > >And to be honest, my current thinking is that even for pure SIM card > readers with APDU mode, we might wanna support them via oFono anyway. > Having to add SAP support in multiple levels is a bad idea. > > Yes but an APDU interface is needed in the SIM driver of oFono, I don't see any interface of this kind in the source code. Because we haven't had any hardware that does this so far. You will only see code in oFono once we had hardware in our hands that is able of doing this and we know how to drive it. > Maybe it's not the good place to speak about that.

Any chance you guys could add Renesas Modem support to oFono and then us some samples? Regards Marcel
