nRF7002 companion IC

The nRF7002 EBII uses an expansion header interface to enable the evaluation of the nRF7002 companion IC in combination with compatible boards.

The expansion header connectors are described in the following table.

Access to the nRF7002 EBII General-Purpose Input/Output (GPIO)s is available from the socket of the P1 connector.

The P1 connector provides access to digital signals, ground, and IO power.

The P2 connector provides access to ground and 5V power.

The following figure shows the expansion header signals routing on the nRF7002 EBII.
