Is PPP supported by nRF9160?

[HardikHarpal]

I wanted to know if PPP is supported by nRF9160? I want to us it with RPi.

As far as I know PPP is not currently supported. If you want to know what's supported, look at this www.nordicsemi.com/.../nRF9160_html5_keyfeatures.

we want to use PPP protocol over UART with nRF9160 to establish Internet Connection and Data transfer? Our goal is to interface this module with RPI on UART.

1. Many Cellular Module provides Transparent Mode for Internet Data Transfer, is such mode is available on nRF9160? If yes than can you please provide details of it.

2. Can Nordic provide Non-Zephyr SDK (Keil SDK) for nRF9160?

 There is no such feature that I know of.I'm not sure if I understand your problem correctly, but why can't you just send the data serially to the Pi and let the Pi take care of the PPP?

 Nope, and as far as I know Keil will not be supported in the future either.

"Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) so that you can send IP datagrams over serial links, including LAT or modem connections. PPP is an enhancement to the nonstandard Serial Line IP (SLIP) interface."

nRF9160 Support PPP over Serial then it will act as IP Interface to Raspberry Pi. So in case if internet connection over ethernet/wifi fails it can switch over to PPP interface(Cellular) for internet connectivity

Ok, but there is no support for it at the moment, so you will need to find a different solution.

Ok, Thanks
