The nRF7002
Expansion Board (EB) is used to provide Wi-Fi® connectivity to compatible development or evaluation boards through
the nRF7002
Wi-Fi 6 companion Integrated Circuit (IC).
The EB has a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) edge connector that can be used with a
compatible development board such as the Nordic Thingy:53™ IoT prototyping platform. There are castellated holes on the
side of the board that allow the EB to be used as a breakout board that can be soldered to
other PCB assemblies.
