Hi Patrik, Thanks for the answers. The system what I am trying to build will have the following interfaces Eth0 a Ethernet link, which will be used for remote target debug (no uplink is required) Usb1 for a gadget tethering interface or for Mirrorlink smartphone screen replication Eth1 for WiFi Uplink
So we will enable tethering for the interfaces which doesn't require uplink and realize the expected use case.

Always preferring WiFi for the Internet uplink can be achieved by setting PreferredTechnologies = wifi in /etc/connman/main.conf. But is the ethernet also an uplink - i.e. should ConnMan try to get IP addresses for it via DHCP, or is it something the rest of the system just needs for its internal connectivity? If it's the latter, you can enable tetehring for ethernet and let ConnMan be the entity handing out IP addresses with DHCP. At this point there is no need to configure PreferredTechnologies as ethernet is no more an uplink connection. > The notes / mail threads I read indicates connman can connect to one > technology at any given time, based on the preference list in the > configuration.

ConnMan thinks of all networks as being candidates for Internet connectivity unless told to tether some of them. When tethering is enabled for a technology, there won't be any services announced for this technology. > In the same sense, does the connman state "online" or "ready" is > related to internet connectivity? Yes. These states are only defined for ConnMan services.
