Background:

Our MV3x 5G data cards have implemented the Qualcomm MSM (QMI) Interface.

LINUX References:

The open source Linux kernel has the default support of QMI interface via qmi_wwan with the corrersponding API functions inside the library libqmi.

Libqmi is a more direct way to control QCT cellular devices over the QMI interface. 

libqmi project: https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/libqmi/

QMI man page: https://www.freedesktop.org/software/libqmi/man/latest/qmicli.1.html

QMI-over-MBIM:

On our 5G data cards MV3x, we recommend to use the QMI functions over the MBIM interface.

refer to the libqmi option: --device-open-mbim
