Unfortunately it is a bit memory hungry. Have a look here and here.

Yes , it compiles fine. One last question : is there a way to reduce the app size because the CONFIG_WIFI_NRF70 Kconfig pulls in too much driver code and takes too much flash memory size

Ah right, you are lacking a driver that is in the nRF repo. sdk-nrf doesn't seem to be a part of your manifest there.

it was actually the mbdetls module that was missing. the build still fails though to a missing file though

I it is actually the

CONFIG_WIFI_NRF70

that is causing the problem. I guess it our build environment as you stated that must missing modules. I'll try to reinstall and i will be getting back to you with questions. $=
Thank you for your time

Gotya. Though if you try building it for the DK board, does that work? If something that is easier to set-up does not build, then the issue could be the build environment, so let's try something like the DK first.

my bad i meant the nrf7002ek , the samples dont compile for the shield

I assume you mean the nrf7002DK board? This should atleast work, since it doesn't then the build environment is my lead suspect. Are you able to build any other samples using this devcontainer and west.yml?

no , the wifi sample build actually fails with the nrf7002dk shield with the same errors mentioned above.

Yeah I guess the issue could be related to that. It seems like you are mainly getting the Zephyr repo here? I guess it might be that some of these samples are dependent on the nRF repo.

Are you able to build this sample for anything? Eg. the nRF7002dk?

Hi Elfving ,

My bad i wasn't precise . I'm developing from inside a devcontainer(docker) and i'm importing modules using a west.yml. here how my west.yml looks like. I'm wondering if the problem is coming from missing modules. ( the nrf_wifi is well imported in my zephyr/modules)

manifest:
 
 remotes:
 - name: zephyrproject-rtos
 url-base: github.com/zephyrproject-rtos

 projects:
 - name: zephyr
 remote: zephyrproject-rtos
 revision: v4.1.0
 import:
 # By using name-allowlist we can clone only the modules that are
 # strictly needed by the application.
 name-allowlist:
 - cmsis # required by the ARM portœ
 - hal_stm32 # required by the STM32 based boards
 - segger 
 - littlefs 
 - cmsis # required by the ARM port
 - hal_nordic # required by the nRF based boards
 - tinycrypt # required by the BLE
 - open-amp # required by the BLE
 - libmetal # required by the BLE
 - hal_espressif
 - lvgl

Hi Adam,

And this is a build error? This seems to work on my side. What NCS version are you using? Does building it for eg. the nRF7002DK work for you? What about setting the EK shield using a cmake argument?
