Using mikroe "LTE IoT Click" aka u-blox SARA-R410M-02B with native serial UART

Hey,

Ok, that's good.

You should not need to use 2MM_FILTER_RULE_TTY_PLATFORM_DRIVER=0
MM_FILTER_RULE_NET=0" at all.

Platform TTY ports are never probed automatically, unless they're
explicitly whitelisted with the ID_MM_DEVICE_PROCESS udev tag.

Try to do something like this:

        $ sudo vim /lib/udev/rules.d/78-mm-whitelist-platform-modem.rules
            ACTION!="add|change|move", GOTO="mm_whitelist_platform_modem_end"
           DEVPATH=="/devices/platform/ahb/ahb:apb/f8024000.serial/atmel_usart_serial.1.auto/tty/ttyAT2",
ENV{ID_MM_DEVICE_PROCESS}="1"
            LABEL="mm_whitelist_platform_modem_end"
        $ sudo udevadm control --reload
        $ sudo udevadm trigger
        $ sudo /usr/sbin/ModemManager --debug
