RE: Using NRF-7002 wifi companion chip with non-Nordic SoC

Hi,

At this moment, you can see the supported features listed in our software maturity section, if you expand that:

https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/latest/nrf/software_maturity.html#wi-fi-feature-support

This also includes the SoCs that we support with the nRF7002 companion device.

[quote user=""]For example, would you implement a circuit with an ESP32 that can communicate directly with the NRF-7002 via a chip that can bridge the QSPI gap such as this one using libraries such as this one? [/quote]

The QSPI device here is a flash IC, which acts as a slave. This does not provide any bridge.

Or is the best avenue to implement another host SoC like the NRF-5430? I have existing circuits to which I would like to add the NRF-7002 to. However, I am evaluating our implementation options as far as adding it to our system is concerned.

I would recommend that you use one of the SoCs that we support at this time.

Kind regards,

Håkon
