The AT device software package is a transplantation of the AT component and AT socket function. You need to enable the AT component library and AT socket function to obtain the AT device software package.

Version number description

At present, the AT device software package has been released in multiple versions, and the option configuration method between each version and its corresponding system version are different. The following mainly lists the currently available software package version information:

• V1.2.0: applicable to RT-Thread version less than V3.1.3, AT component version equal to V1.0.0;
• V1.3.0: applicable to RT-Thread version less than V3.1.3, AT component version equal to V1.1.0;
• V1.4.0: applicable to RT-Thread version less than V3.1.3 or equal to V4.0.0, AT component version equal to V1.2.0;
• V1.5.0: Suitable for RT-Thread version less than V3.1.3 or equal to V4.0.0, AT component version equal to V1.2.0;
• V1.6.0: applicable to RT-Thread version equal to V3.1.3 or equal to V4.0.1, AT component version equal to V1.2.0;
• V2.0.0/V2.0.1: applicable to RT-Thread version greater than V4.0.1 or greater than 3.1.3, AT component version equal to V1.3.0;
• latest: Only applicable to RT-Thread version greater than V4.0.1 or greater than 3.1.3, AT component version equal to V1.3.0;

The above version judgment is automatically completed in menuconfig. When the at_device software package selects the version, it will give the best version support according to the current system environment. The version introduction is used as a reference for the operating environment.

For different version numbers, the option configuration in ENV is also different, mainly divided into the following parts:

The above configuration options take 2G module and WIFI module options as examples to introduce the configuration method of the AT device software package of the V2.X.X version. The following points are worth noting:

• V2.X.X version supports multiple AT devices to be turned on at the same time. You can view the information of the turned on devices through the ifocnfig command in FinSH;
• Devices of V2.X.X version need to be registered before they can be used. Currently, device registration is completed in the samples directory file, and users can also customize device registration at the application layer.
• Pin options such as Power pin and Power status pin are configured according to the specific device hardware connection. If the hardware power-on function is not used, it can be configured as -1;
• An AT device corresponds to a serial port name, and the AT client device name configured for each device should be different.

Introduction to AT component related configuration options

After the AT device software package is selected and the related device support is enabled, the client function of the AT component will be selected by default. The following are the AT component configuration options.

RT-Thread Components --->
    Network --->
        AT commands --->
    [] Enable debug log output
    [] Enable AT commands server
    -*- Enable AT commands client
    (1) The maximum number of supported clients
    -*- Enable BSD Socket API support by AT commnads
    [*] Enable CLI(Command-Line Interface) for AT commands
    [] Enable print RAW format AT command communication data
    (128) The maximum lenght of AT Commonds buffe

Among them, the configuration options related to the AT device software package:

• The maximum number of supported clients: The maximum number of supported AT clients (multiple devices selected in the AT device software package need to be configured with the corresponding value);
• Enable BSD Socket API support by AT commnads: enable AT Socket function support, select the AT device software package and select this option by default;
• The maximum lenght of AT Commonds buffe: The maximum supported length of sending command data.

3. Matters needing attention

• The module adapted to the AT device software package does not support serving as a TCP Server to complete server-related operations (such as accept, etc.);
• The default device type of the AT device software package is not selected, and the device model needs to be specified when using it;
• The latest version supports the access of multiple selected AT devices to realize the AT Socket function. The V1.X.X version only supports the access of a single AT device.
• At present, multiple versions of the AT device software package are mainly used to adapt to the changes of AT components and systems. It is recommended to use the latest version of the RT-Thread system and select the latest version in the menuconfig option;
• Please refer to the description in at_sample_xxx.c, some functions need to increase the setting value of AT_CMD_MAX_LEN, RT_SERIAL_RB_BUFSZ.
