6Overview
7********
8
9The nRF7002 EB is a versatile evaluation kit in the form of a thumbstick shield which connects to
10compatible Nordic host boards, like the Thingy53, using the Nordic edge-connector.
11
12The nRF7002 EB unlocks low-power Wi-Fi 6 capabilities for your host device. It support dual-band Wi-Fi
132.4GHz and 5GHz, and is based on the nRF7002 SoC.
14Seamlessly connect to Wi-Fi networks and leverage Wi-Fi-based locationing, enabling advanced
15features such as SSID sniffing of local Wi-Fi hubs

23Requirements
24************
25
26The nRF7002 EB board is designed to fit straight into a Nordic edge-connector and uses SPI as the
27communication interface. Any host board that supports the Nordic edge-connector can be used with
28the nRF7002 EB.

46Shield Variants
47###############
48
49The nRF7002 EB has a variant which includes the COEX pins. These pins are not be routed to the
50edge-connector on some boards, like earlier revisions of the Thingy53 than v1.0.0.
51
52- ``nrf7002eb``: The default variant.
53- ``nrf7002eb_coex``: Variant which includes the COEX pins.
54
55SR Co-existence
56###############
57
58The nRF7002 EB supports SR co-existence provided the host board supports it. The SR co-existence
59pins are connected to the host board's GPIO pins.
60
61Two Kconfig options are available to enable SR co-existence:
62
63- :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_NRF70_SR_COEX`: Enables SR co-existence.
64- :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_NRF70_SR_COEX_RF_SWITCH`: Control SR side RF switch.
