Hi, I finished the implementation and documentation of the OVMS module based on the Lilygo T-Call A7670E board (ESP32 WROVER E and a Simcom A7670E). The module is in operation since more than a month in my Smart EQ.
The hardware details can be found here: https://github.com/zbchristian/OVMS-Lilygo-based-Module
There are some limitations wrt the standard module:
- only 4MB Flash -> no OTA update
- no GPIO extender -> only 2 CAN buses
- no SD-card support
The required modification in the firmware:
- remapping of the ESP32 pins in ovms_peripherals
- replace some of the GPIO extender pins by standard ESP32 pins
- new hardware option in menuconfig (set CONFIG_OVMS_HW_BASE_LILYGO_1_0=y)
- Simcom 7670 modem support (already available in the OVMS repo)
All this is available in the branch lilygo-support of https://github.com/zbchristian/Open-Vehicle-Monitoring-System-3-Lilygo-Suppo...
My question to the main developers: Is there interest to incorporate this into the official OVMS repository?
Best regards Christian
