2. Getting Started

This section will lead you step by step to create a cellular connection with the Sixfab

Jumpstart 5G.

2.1 Overview of the operating system requirements for the kit

The Jumpstart 5G package includes a pre-configured operating system, which is

Raspberry Pi OS. This ensures you have a seamless experience with the 5G

functionality right out of the box. Hence, there is no necessity for you to install the

operating system image onto the SD card.

2.2 Compatibility with Raspberry Pi OS, necessary drivers, and

libraries

Raspberry Pi OS is based on Debian, so modules that are compatible with

Debian-based systems are generally compatible with Raspberry Pi OS as well. The

cellular module has built-in support in the Linux kernel and is recognized automatically

by the system. No additional drivers are required.

There are specific libraries or software tools available to facilitate communication with

the cellular module such as atcom, minicom etc. are already installed. With these tools,

a user can send AT commands to the cellular module and establish any communication

related to the module.
