I am trying to connect usb ethernet huawei device to connect to the internet. i am using board viola with imx7 1GB. but since the device is not detecting as ethernet. dmesg and lsusb logs are shown below

Greetings @kishanjoshi,
Can you please state what exact Huawei device you’re trying to use?
Probably what’s going on is that you need to add a driver to the Kernel for this device.

Hi
i already enabled kernel drivers but the problem is that this dongle E353 required usb_modeswitch. but when i added IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " usb_modeswitch usb_switch-data" in the local.conf it is showing me error below.

Hi
Which image did you build?
Which repo branch are you using?
Have you done any other changes to local.conf or other files?
If yes, can you share the changes?
Best regards,
Jaski
Hi @kishanjoshi,
Regarding your yocto build it seems the main issue is that for the usb_modeswitch package the added files were packaged but not shipped. Which is a nuanced difference in yocto land.
According to the usb_modeswitch recipe in yocto it tries to install files in /lib/udev but I believe this path doesn’t exist in the Torizon file system as we have udev configurations in /etc/udev. The fix would be to modify the usb_modeswitch recipe to install files to /etc/udev instead.
Though could you also attach the log file referenced by your build error just so I can see if I’m missing anything.
Best Regards,
Jeremias
This is exactly what is happening. You can simulate logs by following above mentioned tutorial.
And then i used
MACHINE=colibri-imx7 source setup-enviornment
And then i got error.
I just added usb-modeswitch in local.conf by following tutorial and gt error.
Can you guide me how can i edit usb-modeswitch recipe
HI @kishanjoshi
Could you provide the error log asked by @jeremias.tx?
Thanks and best regards,
Jaski

Hi @kishanjoshi,
After some investigation I found the cause of the build error.
First of all I was mistaken earlier when I said Torizon doesn’t have a /lib/udev directory, it does but due to OSTree we use a usrmerge method that places the real /lib/udev under /usr.
This conflicts with usb-modeswitch which uses an installation script that installs under /lib when it should really be installing under /usr/lib.
Anyways here are the changes I made to the meta-openembedded layer in the yocto build:

I tested these changes in my personal build without error so let me know if this still doesn’t work.

Can you guide me how can i apply this changes ? To the file ?
Hi
You need to find the file meta-oe/recipes-support/usb-modeswitch/usb-modeswitch-data_20170806.bb and edit/change it accoring to the information above. This git diff output shows exactly what was changed. The sign -, which line was deleted and + which line was added. These signs are not part of the changes to do and should not be added to the file.
Best regards,
Jaski
can i use git am apply command to it ?
Yes git apply can be used to apply the output of a git diff as a patch.
