Hello,

I think it is still not supported. I have asked the team and will let you know lately.

Hi,
Is there some news about supporting WPA2 Enterprise?

Hello,

WPA2 enterprise is not yet supported.

Any news about supporting the WPA2 enterprise security?

WPA2 enterprise isn't yet supported yet. You can contact your local sales for roadmap.

Thank you for your answer,

Is quite surprising because the product page (https://www.nordicsemi.com/Products/nRF7002) mention this:
"The nRF7002 can also be used in conjunction with non-Nordic host devices. "

Do you have information regarding 802.1X and WPA2 enterprise authentication tests with Nordic host (with NRF7002-DK for example)?

Hello,

I am sorry that was a link from private case. So, you were not able to open. Customer asked similar question if it is possible to use Stm32 as MCU to drive the nRF7002. Our expert answered the following way:

''At this moment, we support nRF devices, such as the nRF52840/nRF5340 and nRF9160 (for wifi scanning/location services), to be used with the nRF700x.

It is theoretically possible to support other mcu's, but this has not been explored at this time.

If you have specific needs or questions towards roadmap related items, I recommend that you contact your local RSM''

Hello,

Do you have any further information about porting a not Nordic CPU as host? I would like to use FreeRTOS and LWIP for this (already done for other WIFI modules).

I have tried to find some usefull informations from the nrf SDK, should it be sufficient to implement QSPI iface and OSAL, and add the net_if to bridge packets from/to LWIP to/from NRF7002?

The link you provided is not accessible, is it normal?

Other question regarding 802.1X, is it possible to test with the NRF7002DK?
From my knowledge about Zephyr they don't have support for WPA2-Enterprise?

We do not have any minimum requirements as per I know. nRF52832 is not suitable choice.

Nordic Semiconductor provides reference host support implementations for nRF52840 and nRF5340, but
nRF7002 may also be used with other hosts with sufficient processing and memory capacity.

Hi Kazi Afroza Sultana i see it in datasheet of nRF7002. so how much the memory capacity need for other host, we use nRF52833 or nRF52832 ok or not ?

Thanks

Hello,

We support nRF5340, nRF52840 an nRF9160. You have to upgrade to ncs v2.2.99-dev3. Currently it is not possible with another MCU out of these. You can read this previous case:
