The uconsole-4g-cm5 script seems overengineered and for some use cases too specific. For example, it seems to be completely unusable for non-systemd systems. It also seems to assume I want to restart modem manager, and other rather narrow assumptions.

The cm4 script is somehow way simpler, but doesn't work on a cm5 for me. However, here is what I found to work for the CM5 and I think something like this might make sense to provide as a simpler uconsole-4g-cm5 script:

#!/usr/bin/env sh

function tip {

echo "use mmcli -L to see 4G modem or not"
}

function enable4g {

echo "Power on 4G module on uConsole cm4"

gpioset -t0 -p2s -c "gpiochip0" "24=1"
gpioset -t0 -p2s -c "gpiochip0" "15=1"

sleep 5

gpioset -t0 -p2s -c "gpiochip0" "15=0"

echo "waiting..."
sleep 20
echo "done"

}

function disable4g {
echo "Power off 4G module"

gpioset -t0 -p1s -c "gpiochip0" "24=0"
gpioset -t0 -p5s -c "gpiochip0" "24=1"
gpioset -t0 -p20s -c "gpiochip0" "24=0"

sleep 5

echo "Done"

}
if [ "$#" -ne 1 ] ; then
        echo "$0: enable/disable"
        exit 3
fi


if [ $1 == "enable" ]; then

enable4g;
tip;

fi


if [ $1 == "disable" ]; then
 disable4g
 tip;
fi

(You may need to install libgpiod first, if you haven't. Most systems have it, even those that aren't based on Raspberry Pi OS.)
