apparently it's not possible, only ppp is supported with the new driver

in the end we decided to do it from scratch using the modem driver and cmux, but the project is stalled for now

because someone said so in the zephyr discord, I'm fully aware that there is no mention of this anywhere else

all the knowledge about zephyr is gated and unindexed in their discord, nothing is publicly documented on the web, nordic should pressure the zephyr project to move the public discussion outside a gated community, otherwise the developer experience will always be miserable

k321 I am also looking for such an example. Have you already found something out you can share with me?

And why do you think that the bg9x driver is going to be deprecated?

The Zephy bg95 support is not maintained by Nordic, you may check with its manufacturer or check with Issues · zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr (github.com).

our current product uses bg95, I'm talking about the existing bg95 in the nrf connect sdk, and asking how to get that to work, since we were considering switching from the legacy sdk to nrf connect

we cannot change modem or mcu

Hi K321,

I am not familiar with BG95 modem, maybe you can check with Quectel about their modem host solution that can be port to general MCU like nRF52.

If you use nRF91 as a modem running Serial LTE modem (nordicsemi.com), we offer the following solution as modem host:

Cellular: SLM Shell (nordicsemi.com)

nRF91 Series as a Zephyr-compatible modem (nordicsemi.com)(Using Zephyr Cellular modem sample)

Best regards,

Charlie

it appears that the bg9x driver is going to be deprecated in zephyr, this leaves out the option of using the network offload

but my question remains, can I implement the offload using at commands in my application? how? would that work at the same time as gnss? why there is absolutely no public / searchable documentation about this?
