rtl8762c support AWS via cellular modem #1

Not sure if the rtl8762c can support the AWS via the cellular modem.. which is something done in the FreeRTOS. https://github.com/FreeRTOS/Lab-Project-FreeRTOS-Cellular-Demo If yes, can we contract you to do that..

The rtl8762c SoC doesn't feature a cellular modem/radio on it's own, only BLE.

It might possible to use IPv6 via BLE to connect the module to the internet. This would require an IPv6 over BLE gateway. One could also build a proxy device that communicated to the SoC via basic BLE and connects to AWS. Both of these options would be localized to the proximity to the gateway/proxy device.

Another option is to use the same or a similar GSM module like in the example you linked, and connect it to the SoC.

It depends on your use case.

Thanks for the feedback. In your repo, there is folder tools which links to https://github.com/ART-Badge/SDK/tree/116b2296a9f6442a85c68daf4855d9ed36cc330d/bsp_for_art-badge Seems like they had port RTL8762C on top of RT-thread rtos. There is solution to support cellular[or WiFi]/network connection via at-device/SAL on RT-Thread.

Can you help to port RTL8762C sdk/driver to mbedOS (https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-os) [using gcc too] . If yes, how much? You may respond to me via the email ebony.huang@brickcom.com
Thanks
