💖 eg25-manager — the girlboss daemon for your PinePhone modem 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to eg25-manager(8), from the System Manager's Manual. she's a daemon, she's a baddie, and her whole job is managing the Quectel EG25 modem that lives inside the Pine64 PinePhone. that's it. that's the gig. and she ate. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

eg25-manager [-v] [-c config_file]

yes queen, two flags, keep it simple, keep it slay. 🎀

🌸 OPTIONS 🌸

  • -v — show the version number and then dip immediately. no notes, just numbers. ✨
  • -c — your user configuration file! if you don't pass one, she defaults to the device configuration file sitting in /etc/eg25-manager. lowkey a whole vibe. 🦋

🎀 FILES 🎀

configuration files get loaded from these two spots, in this order:

  • /etc/eg25-manager/<compatible>.toml — user-provided overrides, and they're optional bestie, no pressure 💖
  • /usr/share/eg25-manager/<compatible>.toml — the default configuration, and this one is required. required required. fr fr. 😭

so here's the whole tea, okay? eg25-manager searches these folders for files named after whatever the compatible device-tree property says (plus the .toml file extension), and she uses the first matching file in each directory. periodt.

🫶 heads up bestie: if no matching default configuration gets found, eg25-manager will just exit with an error message. she's dramatic like that. 💀

values from the user-provided overrides take priority over values stored in the default configuration. so if you're customizing: only store the values you actually changed as user overrides, so eg25-manager can fall back to the default configuration as often as possible. let her have her defaults, she likes them. 👑

the file names eg25-manager will check can be listed using:

xargs -0 printf '%s.toml\n' < /proc/device-tree/compatible

no cap, that's literally the command. screenshot it. 🌈

💜 SEE ALSO 💜

go read those too, iykyk, they're part of the lore. 🧚

okay that's the whole page babes ✨ this was eg25-manager(8) — shoutout to the System Manager's Manual, no version number on this one but we're stamping it 2026-01-16 and calling it iconic. stay connected, stay slay, love u, bye!! 💖🌸🦋🎀💅👑
