Modem core becomes unresponsive

Hi,

I’m experiencing an issue where any operation seemingly related to the Modem core and MCU core is failing/timing-out.

Device: WP7700
Firmware Image: 9999999_9908397_SWI9X06Y_02.32.02.00_00_TELSTRA_001.035_000-full.spk
Legato: 19.07.1

I can still SSH in to the device, Legato is still running, and all apps are still running.

To illustrate the problem, when I run cm info, it takes ~5 seconds before each line is printed and all the data is “blank”.

root@swi-mdm9x28-wp:/tmp/legato_logs# cm info
Device:
IMEI:
IMEISV:
FSN:
Firmware Version:

MCU Version:                   000.000

Last Reset Cause:              Unknown
Resets Count:                  Expected: 1918   Unexpected: 6

Here’s the corresponding logread capture:

As you can see, all "qmi" and "MCU" operations fail.
It may be obvious from the log above but worth mentioning that issuing AT commands to /dev/ttyAT also fails - the connection times out.

Unfortunately, I was unable to capture a log event of when this started. However, it began roughly 1 hour after I applied a system update. I saw similar behaviour a day earlier on the same device but it took well over 24 hours before it became problematic.
Please note that the same system update was applied to 4 other devices which aren’t showing this issue.

I’m reluctant to reset the device just yet in case there’s any other valuable information I can extract from it.

Has anyone seen anything like this before?

@raf, what is the output for “legato status”? if you restart legato, this change any thing?
