Description Aleksander Morgado 2013-05-14 07:42:26 UTC

The WDA service includes methods which would be very helpful for libqmi's internal operation:
 * Documented SET/GET_DATA_FORMAT, which can be used *instead* of the CTL service ones.
 * Method to query which are the supported Messages, not just the supported service version, in case the device doesn't support all messages in a given service version.
 * Method to query which are the supported Fields in a given message.

This one is already implemented (i.e. libqmi+qmicli commands). Still, would be good to use WDA Set Data Format instead of the CTL one when supported during qmi_device_open().

Doing this would require to either unconditionally try with WDA (even if older modems won't support it) or otherwise start with an explicit version info check (which is currently optional). We probably shouldn't do this by default. If a client wants to use WDA, it can still use it after the QmiDevice is created.

Support for querying these is already in git master, for several services, but I haven't seen yet a modem replying anything to those commands.

Will close this bugreport, the most important WDA bits (get/set data format) are already supported.
