NCS and Atmel WINC1500

Hello everyone!

Based on this  Atmel winc 1500 with NCS , I wanted to try also myself to interface my custom board based on nRF5340 with a WINC1500.

I'm building for nrf5340cpuapp and the devicetree overlay is the following 

0042.nrf5340dk_nrf5340_cpuapp.overlay

As in the above-mentioned issue, I edited the prj.config accordingly and it builds correctly.

The problem is that the following lines

CONFIG_WIFI_WINC1500=y
CONFIG_WIFI_WINC1500_REGION_EUROPE=y
shows a yellow squiggle and a comment saying "In build: n". Hovering on them it appears as follows

- CONFIG_WIFI_WINC1500 was assigned the value y, but got the value n. Missing dependencies:
DT_HAS_ATMEL_WINC1500_ENABLED
- CONFIG_WIFI_WINC1500_REGION_EUROPE was assigned the value y, but got the value n. Missing dependencies:
<choice>

I'm using NCS 2.2.0. I have no clue on how to solve this because there is little to zero documentation about this particular interface (WINC and NCS)

  • Hello again, 
    Tested this on my side using nRF Connect SDK v2.3.0 with your overlay, and added hal_atmel as described in the ticket you refer to. 

    There seems to be missing configurations, the following worked for me running the wifi sample:

    CONFIG_WIFI=y
    CONFIG_NETWORKING=y
    CONFIG_WIFI_WINC1500=y
    CONFIG_WIFI_WINC1500_REGION_EUROPE=y

    Please note that the Winc1500 is not a part of Nordic Semiconductors products, and we would encourage you to use our new WiFi companion IC, the nRF70 series. The nRF7002 is designed to be used alongside Nordic’s existing nRF52Registered and nRF53Registered Series Bluetooth Systems-on-Chip (SoCs), and nRF91Registered Series cellular IoT Systems-in-Package (SiPs). The nRF7002 can also be used in conjunction with non-Nordic host devices. 

    Kind regards,
    Øyvind
