Is there a Kconfig to quickly enable Wifi Shell sample on custom board (nRF5340)?

[responsible_duck]

We are finishing up our certification process and to complete Wifi Adaptivity, we need to operate the Wifi Shell sample. However, we need to do it on top of our custom board so ideally this is possible with a Kconfig, similar to the wifi radio test.

Thanks

Hi,

 

If you need this as a part of the teleregulatory certification testing, it is easiest to use the samples/wifi/shell sample. For instance, if planning to certify in Europe, features like zperf and wifi_utils is required for certain test-cases within ETSI:

To answer your question directly, what is required to add the wifi shell to an arbitrary nRF-wifi sample, is this:

https://github.com/nrfconnect/sdk-nrf/blob/v2.8.0/samples/wifi/shell/prj.conf#L11

 

In addition to other shell dependencies, as found in this "bulk" of configs:

Kind regards,
