Hello René,

Here are the answers I received from our team.

[quote user=""]1) nRF Lib networking (Only AWS) is the aws-iot-device-sdk-embedded-C port, or is it a new implementation of Nordic?[/quote]

This is a new implementation by Nordic

[quote user=""]2) If it is not an aws-iot-device-sdk-embedded-C porting, could you share us the reasons that Nordic considered to make this new implementation and not use aws-iot-device-sdk-embedded-C?[/quote]

The aws iot library is a generic subset based on the nrfcloud library (which is also using aws iot). Since we already had made the nrfcloud library the effort of making the aws iot library was moderate with low risk involved.

[quote user=""]3) Do you know of any drawbacks to using aws-iot-device-sdk-embedded-C with our setup?[/quote]

Using aws-iot-device-sdk-embedded-C would probably require quite some effort to integrate with NCS/Zephyr for a smooth experience. The current aws iot lib is already well integrated in the NCS/Zephyr ecosystem and is easy to get started with

[quote user=""]4) Do you have an example that uses aws-iot-device-sdk-embedded-C ?[/quote]

No examples that uses this.
