The sbdctl application is an example application that can send and receive data on the IRIDIUM network. It requires an IRIDIUM 9602 modem and an appropriate account through a third-party satellite network provider. The source code example is located on the Technologic Systems public github here.
The sbdctl
application uses multiple command line switches, and uses stdin/stdout where input or output are necessary:
root@ts7800-v2:~# sbdctl Usage: sbdctl [options] ... Technologic Systems SBD Control Utility Status output goes to stderr. All other IO uses stdin/stdout. Options are executed in the order given on the command line. For example: sbdctl -D <data_len_bytes> -c < myfile.bin This would read myfile.bin into the MO buffer, then initiate an SBD session (if possible) to transmit the data to the network. NOTE: Maximum input is 340 bytes for either text or binary transmissions. NOTE2: The MO and MT buffers can only contain one message each. -p, --port </dev/ttyEX1> Define which serial port to use. -c, --connect Connect to satellite and initiate SBD session. -t, --tread Read text from SBD modem's receive buffer. -d, --dread Read binary data from SBD modem's receive buffer. -T, --twrite <len> Write <len> bytes text data from stdin to SBD modem's transmit buffer. -D, --dwrite <len> Write <len> bytes binary data from stdin to SBD modem's tx buffer. -r, --rssi Request new RSSI reading from SBD modem. -s, --status Get local MO and MT message queue status. -e, --events Enable unsolicited event reporting from modem. -i, --info Dump modem-related info in BASH-compatible variables. -x, --indexes Report message index number for MO and MT. -y, --clearindex Clear Mobile Originated Message Sequence Number. -k, --clearbuffers Clear both MO and MT buffers. -l, --clearmobuf Clear Mobile Originated (MO) buffer. -m, --clearmtbuf Clear Mobile Terminated (MT) buffer. -a, --cpymomtbuf Copy MO to MT buffer on modem. root@ts7800-v2:~#
