Christian,
well done on the 7670 support :-)
I've just done some first tests of your branch on the 7600, which turned up some issues. Logs attached:
It seems the test for reaction ("AT") sometimes gets skipped, even though the modem isn't ready yet.
- Cold boot failed in 2 of 3 test boots, with the driver getting stuck in a loop (poweredon / identify / muxstart)
- Regular shutdown fails to power down the modem in time -- for a deep sleep phase, this would mean the modem will remain powered on
- After a crash, the modem driver gets somehow stuck in PowerOffOn state
On the failed cold boot log, you can see this at the end:

Dear all,
I finished to integrate the Simcom 7670 modem into the OVMS code.
See https://github.com/zbchristian/Open-Vehicle-Monitoring-System-3.git branch update_cellular.
Modem Powering
===============
I had problems to get the 7670 working with the current code. The modem was stuck in a power cycle loop.
I checked the Simcom documentation for the 4 models 5360, 7000 series, 7600, 7670 and the powering procedure via the PWRKEY pin is the same, but with different on/off timing. Depending on the hardware, the PWRKEY can be inverted as well. This is the case for my Lilygo TCall board, but I think not for the OVMS HW versions. At least version 3.1 connects the corresponding MAX7317 pin directly to the modem.
Assuming, that all hardware versions use the PWRKEY procedure for powering, I streamlined the code and moved the corresponding functions into separate files (simcom_powering.cpp and simcom_powering.h). This avoids the duplication of the code.
All this leads to substantial changes in ovms_cellular and ovms_cellular_modem_driver as well.
The code works now perfectly for the 7670, but testing is required for all other models.
If my assumptions about the OVMS HW versions are not correct, or the modems do not work as documented, some modifications might be needed.
GNSS Location
============
The 7670 no longer accepts the currently used AT commands to obtain the location as a GRMC sentence. So, I added code to the new 7670 class to request the location via the AT+CGNSSINFO command.
Since this has to be send explicitly again and again, I implemented a corresponding call in the StatusPoller of the 7670.
All the NMEA related code has been adapted to handle the corresponding CGNSSINFO response.
In conclusion, before doing a pull request, it would make sense that the code is tested with the other hardware and modem models.
So, tell me what you think and if the general strategy of the mods make sense to you.
Best regards
Christian
