Can anyone give me a piece of advise how to continue? Should I be looking at
netdev? If so, how do I interface to it? Are there similar devices/drivers?
about two years ago I was facing a similar issue for the SODAQ SARA board [1]. In the end, I used the AT driver [2] and put all the protocol logic into the application. This was certainly the dirtiest possible solution, but I was under quite some time pressure back then and in the end it was working somehow.
I remember that @leandrolanzieri was working on cleaner solution [3] but don’t know if this effort was continued somehow. Anyway, I think providing a netapi capable AT modem driver would be my preferred solution that could be useful for many people.
Since most modems provide TCP/IP implementations up to the application layer, I’m not sure whether a netdev driver would be the right place here. Maybe @miri64 has an opinion on this topic as well.
Cheers Oleg
