4G-IOT & Linux

abietre

Hi all

I'm interested about linux support status on 4G-IOT:
- can this board run linux?
- does it supports 4g module?
- does it supports wif ap mode?

I saw 1-year old threads stating missing featurs ad issues running Linux.

I'm intrested to build a wifi/4g gateway, with some automation support,
and with battery backup for power-outage cases.
I don't need hdmi or a graphical environment, ssh (or serial) connection would suffice.
Working graphical on hdmi or local lcd would be a plus, however.

I'm also interested on the ability to run the board on battery:
on the boards there seems to be some battery solder pads,
can they be directly connected to a battery?
Can the board charge a battery while running?
Will it auto-restart on power return, if battery discharge?
Can it monitor battery/main power status?

Thanks in advance.
