Hello,
I am working with the nRF7002DK and trying to use the Radio Test sample. However, I am confused by the documentation and forum posts:
In some places, it says I need to flash two different firmwares, one for the network core and one for the application core, like the Remote Shell. In other places, and via the Nordic chatbot, it says this process is automatic when building the sample.
My issue:
When I try to build the IPC radio firmware sample in the build configuration, the nRF7002DK does not appear in the list of compatible boards.
If I just flash the Radio Test sample to the network core, the board boots but I get errors like:
E: Endpoint binding failed with -11 E: HCI driver open failed (-11) E: 2147 [DL] BLE Manager initialization failed: 200000b E: PlatformMgr().InitChipStack() failed [Error: 0] E: Exited with code 200000b
After checking the sysbuild.cmake, I see that the automatic flashing of the Remote Shell to the application core is disabled for the nRF7002DK:
if(SB_CONFIG_SOC_NRF5340_CPUNET AND NOT SB_CONFIG_BOARD_NRF7002DK)
# Get application core board target
string(REPLACE "/" ";" split_board_qualifiers "${BOARD_QUALIFIERS}")
list(GET split_board_qualifiers 1 target_soc)
set(board_target_appcore "${BOARD}/${target_soc}/cpuapp")
set(target_soc)
This makes me wonder: Should I manually flash a second firmware to the application core despite the nRF7002DK not appearing in the compatible board list? Or is there a recommended way to get the IPC shell working automatically on the nRF7002DK, as with other boards?
Could you clarify the correct procedure for using the Radio Test sample with the nRF7002DK, please?
Thank you very much for your help!
