Evaluating nRF5340 SoC LE bluetooth link utilizing two nRF7002-DK

[DoronC]

Hello,

I want to utilize two units of nRF7002-DK I have, to evaluate LE bluetooth link between the nRF5340 SoCs.
I need access to define CIG and CIS between the two SoCs.

Any help getting a sample codes of the above is appreciated.

Specifically, I tried to start with some of the existing sample codes for nRF5340, but I don't know how to build them to run on the nRF7002-DK (they are not support by).

Any of the supported sampled codes for the nRF7002-DK don't have any LE bluetooth relevant examples.

Thanks

Hi,

Most Bluetooth projects work out of the box on the nRF7002-DK as long as you build for that board, which you typically do by specifying it when you generate the build configuration in VS Code. 

You can refer to Bluetooth: ISO combined BIS and CIS and Bluetooth: ISO time synchronization for samples.

Thanks for you reply.

In the edit build configuration menu the nRF7002-DK is not compatible for most of the BLE sample codes:

If I try to force it to build for nRF7002-DK like so:

It compiles but after flashing to device it just not operating as expected from the sample code.

Questions:

1. What am I doing wrong ?

2. Is there any sample code for BLE link between two nRF7002-DKs ?

Thanks

Hi,

The "Compatible" term here is unfortunate. That only means that the sample was not deisgned and tested for other boards, but in most cases it will work. And the nRF7002DK has essentially the same features as a nRF5340 DK with the additon of th enRF7002, so most BLE samples will work out of the box.

To know that we first need to look at in what way it is not working. Can you elaborate? How do you test, and what do you observe in the logs?

There is no BLE samples specifially designed for the nRF7002DK, but as mentionned most (if not all) should work.
