Sending data via the AT command client

[Christian]

Hello,

I managed to flash the AT command client to the board and connect to a network (both verified by COPS and CEREG)

Am I right that there is currently no AT command available to send any data (e.g. TCP or UDP) to an arbitrary IP address?

Best regards,
Christian

Hi,

There is currently no AT commands for that, but we provide a BSD socket library for creation and configuration of sockets for the nRF9160. The BSD Socket library provides sockets for UDP, TCP, DTLS, TLS, and AT commands.

Please have a look at this header file. It contains the provided BSD socket API you can use to build your application. In this repo you can find an example on how to use it for TCP sockets.

Hi.

Do you plan to add socket support to AT commands?

Hi,

This would be similar to a thin modem. Look at this post here, a SW thin modem is planned.

Hi Sigurd, 

IS there an update on this at this time or a ETA? I too am very interested in this. 

Thanks
