Sierra Wireless <-> libqmi / QMI obsolete?

[Martin Maurer]

Hello,

on

https://source.sierrawireless.com/resources/airprime/software/linux-qmi-sdk-software-latest/#sthash.v0regNmz.dpbs

(perhaps login needed)

it says:

"Linux QMI SDK Software (SLQS bin + Lite bin)
Aug 14, 2020 - Author: Sierra Wireless - Version 04.00.27

*** NOTE: This product is now EOL. Sierra Wireless recommends customers 
move to MBPL on supported modules. ***"


So no more supported QMI for new Sierra Wireless radio modules (like 
EM92) anymore? Or only the SDK obsolete?

Am I forced to use something different? Or something (which I only know 
the name) like MHI? Can libqmi and qmicli still be used with MHI?

I found this page: https://docs.kernel.org/mhi/mhi.html

Is MHI something completely different? Or similar to QMI and MBIM?

I have not heard of MHI from vendors other than Sierra Wireless? Or skip 
Sierra Wireless?

MBIM is supported by qmicli. Back to MBIM?

My aim would be to support multiple modules with same protocol, but this 
task seems to be not so easy...

Best regards,

Martin
