How to create a new board for nRF5340-CLAA if available QKAA option only?

[Sviyaz]

Hi all!

I'm wondering why the VS Code has option to create a new board for the nRF5340-QKAA only?

I have on hands the nRF5340-CLAA and nRF7002 chips which I'm going to use in my new device so the question is what should I do to make available the CLAA option in the VS Code w/nRF Connect?

I'm beginner in using the nRF chips so plz sorry if my question is stupid or already answered (though I tried to fine an answer here with no luck).

Many thanks in advance for any help!

Hello,

Priyanka is away on vacation at the moment, so I have taken up the case.. The different package variants of the same chip primarily differ in their pin configurations, with some packages having more pins than others. However, the core functionality and software configuration remain the same. See here:  No nrf52840 QFAA support on nRF Connect SDK 2.1.2?  

In this case, internally the QKAA and CLAA are identical. There is also no difference in the available GPIO pins, so there is no issue using board files for QKAA for CLAA. 

Regards,

Swathy
