Hello. I have a reasonably short term need for FreeRTOS+TCP over PPP so that I may use TCP+TLS over a modem.
The most recent update I’ve been able to find is here, where in Apr 2016 it wasn’t on the immediate roadmap:
https://sourceforge.net/p/freertos/discussion/382005/thread/163f3ed7/
After the Amazon announcement, I explored the repo and found that the supported interfaces still don’t include PPP:
https://github.com/aws/amazon-freertos/tree/master/lib/FreeRTOS-Plus-TCP/source/portable/NetworkInterface
I understand that the project has many priorities, and that WiFi or hard-wired Ethernet may be the dominant focus.
That said, since I can’t seem to find any recent discussion on this topic, would you mind giving an update to set expectations within the community? A swag is really all that is needed (i.e. actively being worked on and “close”, vs actively being worked on targeting , vs not yet prioritized/scheduled, etc).
Even if it’s not in the cards for my “reasonably short term” needs, it would be helpful for us as software devs to understand roadmap prioritization (i.e. relative to other big ticket items) so that people can determine whether or not it’s best to pursue other paths based on their own specific needs.
Thanks very much.
