Can you please provide evidence of that?...

...The EC-25 uses Linux...

I took a look and despite the advertised "QuecOpen"(under development) and the osmocom guys info, I  still think that it uses Android.
In the link you provided I read...
ADB
android debug bridge
the lsusb output: iManufacturer Android | iProduct Android
In the board flyer they say they uses linux kernel 3.18 that sounds like android.
And little kernel to boot.

And if it uses android kernel what there is left of linux ?

I couldnt find a firmware so I downloaded the firmware of the D-Link DWM-222 stick that uses the same qualcom modem, and I even more think that uses android...

i don't think the d-link dwm-222 uses the same modem. this page has some info on that device. it states a Qualcomm MDM9225 is used, which is android [without adb, lol ]  so, the dlink and pine device use entirely different modems. so, yeah, you seem mis-informed.

however, on the Quectel EC25 page linked the lsusb output shown has this,

lsusb output
Bus 001 Device 058: ID 2c7c:0125··
Device Descriptor:
bLength 18
bDescriptorType 1
bcdUSB 2.00
bDeviceClass 0 (Defined at Interface level)
bDeviceSubClass 0·
bDeviceProtocol 0·
bMaxPacketSize0 64
idVendor 0x2c7c·
idProduct 0x0125·
bcdDevice 3.18
iManufacturer 1 Android
iProduct 2 Android
iSerial 0·
,,,,

which is rather confusing. i honestly don't know either way. but the use adb as well as the lsusb output makes me wonder if parts are linux and parts are android. like an android interface [adb] to a linux kernel. this is pretty much the typical android methodology , it's all based on a linux kernel. would be interesting to get an official readout from the manufacturer but i also understand tllim point of view.
