Please describe your issue below:

I have a Sierra Wireless EM7421 LTE modem on a new M2X board fitted to a VIM4. The system fails to create any /dev/ttyUSB serial devices. The dmseg log shows “Unsupported device” at the point I would expect to see creation of the /dev/ttyUSB serial devices.
The same modem has been used in other systems (running Ubuntu 18.04 desktop) without issue.

Post a console log of your issue below:

Hello @vem_rw

Maybe some kernel configurations are missing.
Please follow the steps below to update the kernel and check again.

$ sudo dpkg -i linux-image-amlogic-5.4_1.0.11_arm64.deb
$ sync

Modem serial interfaces now created.
Will this fix be included in a future release?
