Are there any plans to expose a raw packet interface for the nrf9160? And ideally forwarded via an async serial port, perhaps as an option for the SLM application? i.e. without TCP, UDP, etc. If not, can I request such? I am working on a design based on a more powerful (speed, IOs, RAM, etc) processor running FreeRTOS that already uses MbedTLS and LWIP for WiFi, and I would like to add the nrf9160 for cellular access. The nrf9160 does not have sufficient resources to run my application and the environment around and support for LWIP is hard to beat. But trying to support both stacks is quite some work. The task would be much simpler if I could simply send/get raw packets to/from the modem. The nrf9160 appears to be a neat part, and meets our size constraints, but the difficulty of integrating it is making us think twice, and may be limiting design-ins.
