| 6 | +Overview |
| 7 | +******** |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +The nRF7002 EB is a versatile evaluation kit in the form of a thumbstick shield which connects to |
| 10 | +compatible Nordic host boards, like the Thingy53, using the Nordic edge-connector. |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +The nRF7002 EB unlocks low-power Wi-Fi 6 capabilities for your host device. It support dual-band Wi-Fi |
| 13 | +2.4GHz and 5GHz, and is based on the nRF7002 SoC. |
| 14 | +Seamlessly connect to Wi-Fi networks and leverage Wi-Fi-based locationing, enabling advanced |
| 15 | +features such as SSID sniffing of local Wi-Fi hubs |

| 23 | +Requirements |
| 24 | +************ |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +The nRF7002 EB board is designed to fit straight into a Nordic edge-connector and uses SPI as the |
| 27 | +communication interface. Any host board that supports the Nordic edge-connector can be used with |
| 28 | +the nRF7002 EB. |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +Prerequisites |
| 31 | +------------- |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +the nRF70 driver requires firmware binary blobs for Wi-Fi operation. Run the command |
| 34 | +below to retrieve those files. |
| 35 | + |

|
| 41 | +Usage |
| 42 | +***** |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +The shield can be used in any application by setting ``--shield nrf7002eb`` when invoking ``west build``. |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +Shield Variants |
| 47 | +############### |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +The nRF7002 EK has a variant which includes the COEX pins. These pins are not be routed to the |
| 50 | +edge-connector on some boards, like earlier revisions of the Thingy53 than v1.0.0. |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +- ``nrf7002ek``: The default variant. |
| 53 | +- ``nrf7002ek_coex``: Variant which includes the COEX pins. |
| 54 | + |
| 55 | +SR Co-existence |
| 56 | +############### |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | +The nRF7002 EK supports SR co-existence provided the host board supports it. The SR co-existence |
| 59 | +pins are connected to the host board's GPIO pins. |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | +Two Kconfig options are available to enable SR co-existence: |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | +- :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_NRF70_SR_COEX`: Enables SR co-existence. |
| 64 | +- :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_NRF70_SR_COEX_RF_SWITCH`: Control SR side RF switch. |
