The same shield designation can also be used with breakout boards like Adafruit AMG8833 8x8 Thermal Camera Sensor [2]. The wires should be connected according to the table above.
Programming
Correct shield designation (see the table above) for your shield must
be entered when you invoke west build.
For example:
# From the root of the zephyr repository
west build -b nrf52840dk_nrf52840 samples/sensor/amg88xx -- -DSHIELD=amg88xx_eval_kit
