implementing wifi station mode on nrf52840 with nrf7002 EK

[KAVASKAR s]

Hello, I recently set up an nRF52840 with the nRF7002 evaluation kit using the WiFi station sample. However, during the build process, I noticed that it consumes a significant amount of RAM, making it challenging to incorporate both HTTP and the BLE stack. Referring to this documentation, I found a mention that it's not recommended due to performance or memory constraints.

I'm wondering if it's feasible to implement the nRF52840 with the nRF7002, or should I opt for the nRF53840? Any suggestions would be appreciated. If implementation is possible, could you advise on how to proceed?

Additionally, I have another question: Is it feasible to implement the nRF54H20 with the nRF7002 for future projects?

Hi,

nRF52840 unfortunately does not have enough RAM to support both BLE+Wifi.

We recommend that you look into using nRF5340.

 

Additionally, I have another question: Is it feasible to implement the nRF54H20 with the nRF7002 for future projects?

Yes, nRF54H20 has enough RAM and NV-memory to support most combinations. Please note that the device is not yet released in final silicon:
