1. Hardware Set Up

Hardware Kit on hand:

• 1 x Nordic nRF5340-DK: PCA10095(2.0.2)
• 1 x AN7002Q-DB-5340-M
• 1 x IDC Ribbon Wire(J-Link Cable)
• 1 x USB Wire –Type C USB
• 1 x USB Wire-Micro USB

Note: Pease make sure to have both “Nordic nRF5340-DK” and “AN7002Q-DB-5340-M” connected and running during the WIFI+BLE (nRF7002+nRF5340) project development.

Hardware Network:
IDC Ribbon Wire(J-Link Cable): Connect nRF5340-DK to AN7002Q-DB-5340-M
USB Wire –Type C USB: Power supply to AN7002Q-DB-5340-M through USB TYPE-C
USB Wire-Micro USB: Power supply to nRF5340-DK through Micro USB

A. Project WITHOUT External Flash MX25R64 needed
– Allocate QSPI for communication between MDBT53 (BLE) and AN7002Q (WIFI)
– External flash MX25R64 flash memory is not activated
– NO additional resistor swapping needed, keep it as it is on board now. The Resistors on board align with the Nordic board definition (same as nRF7002-DK).
– Please closely follow the definition chart printed on back side of board AN7002Q-DB-5340-M.
“Component Options Table” > “AN7002Q active with QSPI (Typ)”

– Photo showing the resistor allocation:

B. Project WITH External Flash MX25R64 needed
– Allocate SPI for communication between MDBT53 (BLE) and AN7002Q (WIFI)
– Allocate QSPI for XIP: External flash MX25R64 is activated
– It is REQUIRED to reallocate resistors to swap the QSPI and SPI on the AN7002Q-DB-5340-M in order to activate the circuit for MX25R64.
– Do necessary resistors swapping manually (closely follow the definition chart printed on back side of board AN7002Q-DB-5340-M.)

!! Important Note:!!
The circuit of SW1(p1.08)/SW2(p1.09)/LED1(p1.06) on AN7002Q-DB-5340-M is NOT COMPATIBLE to Nordic WI-FI Control Pin of swctrl1(p1.08)/host_irq(p1.09)/grant(p1.06).
In this case, if you’re working with external flash MX25R64 for the WIFI project, Please avoid pin SW1/SW2/LED1 usage while LED2(p1.07) remains available as normal usage.
For the design perspective of mother board/carrier board /target board (mounted with AN7002Q & MDBT53 modules), it is required to design the circuit align to SW1(p0.23)/SW2(p0.24)/LED1(p0.28).

2. Software Resources & Preparations
Download nRF Connect For Desktop (Please Click Me)
Download nRF Command Line Tools (Please Click Me)

Step 1: Prepared with the latest version of nRF Connect for Desktop, using Windows 64-bit – 5.2.0
Step 2: Prepared with the latest version of Command Line Tools, using Windows X86 64 – 10.24.2

**Note: SEGGER J-LINK Upgrade message might pop up while you’re doing above downloads.

 If you’re initiating Segger Embedded Studio (SES) application, please check the guideline here(Click me) 

Step 3: Locate all the necessary kits for programming in PC

3. Firmware Build & Compile
After you download and set up nRFConnect SDK (NCS), you will be able to apply free VS (Visual Studio) Code IDE as firmware programming tool.
Here’re the guidelines to developing programs without/with External Flash MX25R64.

A. Project WITHOUT External Flash MX25R64 needed
You can directly build/compile on Nordic NCS without any additional configurations/modifications needed.

B. Project WITH External Flash MX25R64 needed
– Allocate SPI for communication between MDBT53 (BLE) and AN7002Q (WIFI)
– Allocate QSPI for XIP: External flash MX25R64 is activated

The below example uses NCS v3.1.1 and runs the under: C:\ncs

Step 1: Start with a Wi-Fi Scan project and run the program under: C:\ncs\v3.1.1\raytac
<<Create a new application and Copy a sample>>

Step 2: Select SDK v3.1.1 to copy the sample

Step 3: Select example by entering keyword: wifi scan(Wi-Fi Scan)

Step 4: Enter application location and name the project as: wifi_scan_uart_dfu

Step 5: Open an existing application and find the registered project: wifi_scan_uart_dfu

Step 7: It is required to do MCUBoot before working with DFU using External Flash
Please do the code configuration in sysbuild.conf as following reference code.

SB_CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_MCUBOOT=y
# DFU with UART
SB_CONFIG_MCUBOOT_MODE_SINGLE_APP=n

# DFU with external flash
SB_CONFIG_PM_EXTERNAL_FLASH_MCUBOOT_SECONDARY=y

Step 8: It is required to do MCUMGR before working with DFU over UART
Please do the code configuration in prj.conf as following reference code.

# Enable QSPI driver for Application
CONFIG_NORDIC_QSPI_NOR=y

# Enable mcumgr DFU in application
CONFIG_MCUMGR=y    
CONFIG_NET_BUF=y
CONFIG_ZCBOR=y  
CONFIG_CRC=y    

# Enable mcumgr management for both OS and Images
CONFIG_MCUMGR_GRP_OS=y 
CONFIG_MCUMGR_GRP_IMG=y
CONFIG_FLASH=y
CONFIG_IMG_MANAGER=y
CONFIG_STREAM_FLASH=y
CONFIG_FLASH_MAP=y

# Configure MCUMGR transport to UART
CONFIG_MCUMGR_TRANSPORT_UART=y
CONFIG_BASE64=y

Step 9: Add with MCUBoot setting , and create a root for sysbuild ; Build with file mucboot.overlay & file mcuboot.conf

9A. With mucboot.overlay
&mx25r64 {
status = “okay";
};

/ {
          chosen {
                   nordic,pm-ext-flash = &mx25r64;
          };
};

&gpio_fwd {
/delete-node/ uart;
};

&gpio_fwd
{
status = “disabled";
};

9B. With file: mcuboot.conf

CONFIG_NORDIC_QSPI_NOR=y
CONFIG_BOOT_MAX_IMG_SECTORS=512

Step 10: Create a VERSION file by referencing the following code when testing DFU over UART.
VERSION_MAJOR = 99
VERSION_MINOR = 0
PATCHLEVEL = 0
VERSION_TWEAK = 0
EXTRAVERSION =

Step 11: Add build configuration.

Step 12: Add build configuration >> Choose Board target: nrf5340dk/nrf5340/cpuapp

Step 13: Generate and Build

Step 14: Generate a Merged.hex file after compiling the program

Step15: You can choose Build/Debug/Flash under ACTIONS during development
<< Build >>

<< Debug >>

<< Flash >>

Step 16: Go to ACTIONS >> Memory report

Now you can see partitions available in the system. mcu_secondary has already been located in MX25R64 flash memory.

4. Test/Validate DFU Process & WIFI SCAN
After the firmware programmed to MDBT53 module on board, we use the USB to UART adaptor board for connection AN7002Q-DB-5340-M through: A. MCUMGR UART to PC and through: B. WiFi Scan UART to PC respectively.
Note: We suggest you finish connecting A. and B. before running tests.

Now we can run the tests.

A. DFU over UART – Using AuTerm Program
1. We can locate Image version=V99.0.0 under the current VERSION file

It also indicates Image version: 99.0.0 in MCUmgr-Slot 0.

2. Try to modify the file version from V99 to V100 under VERSION file:
VERSION_MAJOR = 100

VERSION_MINOR = 0

PATCHLEVEL = 0

VERSION_TWEAK = 0

EXTRAVERSION =

And go with “Pristine Build”

3. We’re about to run DFU over UART , Please DO NOT do “Flash” or “Erase”.

Proceed with “Force reboot”

4. It’s now Version 100.0.0 in Slot 0 under MCUgr ⭢ DFU over UART successfully done!

Before it was Version 99.0.0 in Slot 1 under MCUgr.

B. WIFI SCAN – PuTTY Console
WIFI SCAN credentials can be located under PC Console – PuTTY.
