Programming the A7 chip directly?
Posted: Wed Jan 18, 2017 5:49 pmHey!
I recently got my hands on theAi-thinker A7 chip that has both , GPRS and GPS capabilities.
To my surprise the only way I can interface with it is using AT commands and thus I have to have it connected to a microcontroller or my computer to get some functionality from it :/
So I was wondering if there is any way I can upload code onto the A7 chip itself similar to the esp8266, so that I don't use external hardware to make it work. ( I want to read temperature and send it to a server).
Any ideas? Pointers? or general directions that could help?
Thanks in advance!!
