Reset nRF7002 chip?

[Daniel K]

Hi,

Is it possible to dynamically reset the network stack of the nRF7002 chip at runtime?  Aside from maybe pulsing the reset line low to physically reset the chip, I want to make sure the Zephyr stack is also reset properly to a stable state.

I would like to implement this as part of a runtime recovery mechanism so the device can recover in case of a problem without resetting the whole MCU.

Thanks!

Hi Daniel

There is a shutdown mechanism in the nRF7002 that can be used for this purpose. 

The main use case for shutdown is to minimize current consumption in case you don't need Wi-Fi for a longer period of time, but it can also be used to reset the nRF7002. 

For more information about this mechanism please have a look at the Wi-Fi Shutdown sample.

Best regards
