nRF Wi-Fi driver
The nRF Wi-Fi driver implements the Wi-Fi® protocol for the nRF70 FullMAC Series of devices. FullMAC devices implement the Wi-Fi protocol in the chipset. The driver configures the chipset and transfers the frames to and from the device to the networking stack.
nRF70 Series device is a companion IC and can be used with any Nordic Semiconductor System-on-Chips (SoCs), such as the nRF53 and nRF91 Series SoCs.
You can enable the driver by using the CONFIG_WIFI_NRF700X
Kconfig option.
Architecture
The following figure illustrates the architecture of the nRF Wi-Fi driver.
Design overview
The nRF Wi-Fi driver follows an OS agnostic design, and the driver implementation is split into OS agnostic and OS (Zephyr) specific code.
The OS agnostic code is located in the sdk-nrfxlib/nrf_wifi/
folder and the Zephyr OS port is located in the drivers/wifi/nrf700x/
folder.
The driver supports two modes of operation:
Wi-Fi mode
In this mode, the driver is designed to be used with the Zephyr networking stack. It is implemented as a network interface driver.
The driver supports the following IEEE 802.11 features:
Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) support
WPA3™/WPA2™ personal security
IEEE 802.11 Power Save modes
Scan-only mode
IEEE 802.11 Station mode (STA)
The Wi-Fi Direct® mode feature is in the driver code but is not yet supported.
Except for scan-only mode, the driver uses the host access point daemon (hostapd) to implement AP Media Access Control (MAC) Sublayer Management Entity (AP MLME) and wpa_supplicant to implement 802.1X supplicant.
Radio Test mode
The nRF Wi-Fi driver supports Radio Test mode, which you can use to test the RF performance of the nRF70 Series device.
This is a build time option that you can enable using the CONFIG_NRF700X_RADIO_TEST
Kconfig option.
For more details about using this driver in Radio Test mode, see Wi-Fi: Radio test.
Driver to nRF70 Series device communication
The driver communicates with the nRF70 Series device using the QSPI/SPI interface. The driver uses the QSPI/SPI interface to send commands to the nRF70 Series device, and to transfer data to and from the device. The nRF7002 DK uses QSPI, whereas the nRF7002 EK uses SPI.
To connect the nRF7002 EK to the SoC, the nrf7002ek
shield is required.

Enable extending TWT service period
In case frames accepted before beginning of SP are not transmitted before the SP completes then typically they are dropped to conform to SP window as per specification i.e., no transmission outside SP window.
This feature mitigates the frame loss by transmitting even after SP completion by using standard contention mechanism which is allowed in specification but not recommended. As the device is actively transmitting beyond SP, the power consumption increases depending on the amount of traffic available at the start of SP.
Please note that if a frame is sent after SP starts it will be queued and this mechanism is not used.
- CONFIG_WIFI_FIXED_MAC_ADDRESS
(string)
WiFi Fixed MAC address in format XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
This overrides the MAC address read from OTP. Strictly for testing purposes only.

This option uses the MAC address stored in the OTP memory of the nRF700x.
- CONFIG_WIFI_FIXED_MAC_ADDRESS_ENABLED
(bool)
Enable fixed MAC address
Enable fixed MAC address
- CONFIG_WIFI_RANDOM_MAC_ADDRESS
(bool)

- CONFIG_NRF700X_RSSI_STALE_TIMEOUT_MS
(int)
RSSI stale timeout in milliseconds
RSSI stale timeout is the period after which driver queries RPU to get the RSSI the value. If data is active (e.g. ping), driver stores the RSSI value from the received frames and provides this stored information to wpa_supplicant. In this case a higher value will be suitable as stored RSSI value at driver will be updated regularly. If data is not active or after the stale timeout duration, driver queries the RPU to get the RSSI value and provides it to wpa_supplicant. The value should be set to lower value as driver does not store it and requires RPU to provide the info.

- CONFIG_NRF_WIFI_IFACE_MTU
(int)
MTU for Wi-Fi interface
None
- CONFIG_WIFI_NRF700X_SKIP_LOCAL_ADMIN_MAC
(bool)
Suppress networks with non-individual MAC address as BSSID in the scan results
Wi-Fi access points use locally administered MAC address to manage multiple virtual interfaces, for geo-location usecase these networks from the virtual interfaces do not help in anyway as they are co-located with the primary interface that has globally unique MAC address.
So, to save resources, this option drops such networks from the scan results.
- CONFIG_WIFI_NRF700X_SCAN_DISABLE_DFS_CHANNELS
(bool)
Disables DFS channels in scan operation
This option disables inclusion of DFS channels in scan operation. This is useful to reduce the scan time, as DFS channels are seldom used.
- CONFIG_NET_INTERFACE_NAME_LEN
(unknown)
None
- CONFIG_NRF_WIFI_AP_DEAD_DETECT_TIMEOUT
(int)
Access point dead detection timeout in seconds
The number of seconds after which AP is declared dead if no beacons are received from the AP. Used to detect AP silently going down e.g., power off.
- CONFIG_NRF_WIFI_RPU_RECOVERY
(bool)
Enable RPU recovery mechanism
Enable RPU recovery mechanism to recover from RPU (nRF70) hang. This feature performs an interface reset (down and up) which triggers a RPU coldboot. Application’s network connection will be lost during the recovery process and it is application’s responsibility to re-establish the network connection.
- CONFIG_NRF_WIFI_RPU_RECOVERY_PROPAGATION_DELAY_MS
(int)
RPU recovery propagation delay in milliseconds
Propagation delay in milliseconds to wait after RPU is powered down before powering it up. This delay is required to ensure that the recovery is propagted to all the applications and stack and have enough time to clean up the resources.
- CONFIG_NET_MGMT_EVENT_QUEUE_SIZE
(unknown)
None
- CONFIG_NRF_WIFI_COMBINED_BUCKEN_IOVDD_GPIO
(bool)
Enable this option to use a single GPIO to control both buck enable and IOVDD enable, there will be a internal hardware switch to add delay between the two operations. This is typically 4ms delay for nRF70.
- CONFIG_NRF_WIFI_FEAT_WMM
(bool)
Enable/Disable WMM mode
This option controls disable/enable of the WMM(Wireless Multi-Media) feature.
- CONFIG_NRF_WIFI_PS_POLL_BASED_RETRIEVAL
(bool)
PS-Poll frame based mechanism to retrieve buffered data from AP
When AP notifies about availability of buffered data, the STA stays in power save and retrieves the frames one-by-one, this conserved more power but adds latency to the traffic. Ideal for minimum number of frames.
- CONFIG_NRF_WIFI_QOS_NULL_BASED_RETRIEVAL
(bool)
QoS null frame based mechanism to retrieve buffered data from AP
When AP notifies about availability of buffered data, the STA comes out of power save and then AP can deliver all buffered frames without any additional overhead or latency, but STA enters power save after a delay costing more power depending on the delay. Ideal for heavy buffered traffic.
Devicetree Specification configuration
The maximum transmit power achieved on a nRF70 Series device-based product depends on the frequency band and operating channel. This varies from chip to chip as well as over different Printed Circuit Board (PCB) designs.
Multiple calibrations and checks are implemented to ensure consistency across channels and devices. However, these values have a dependency on PCB design, which may result in Error Vector Magnitude (EVM) and spectral mask failures. To avoid this problem, you can specify the power ceiling at which the EVM and spectral mask are met for a given PCB design. Additionally, build-time parameters are made available to drivers through the DTS overlay file.
The following code snippet shows an example of the DTS overlay file:
/
{
nrf70_tx_power_ceiling: nrf70_tx_power_ceiling_node {
status = "okay";
compatible = "nordic,nrf700x-tx-power-ceiling";
max-pwr-2g-dsss = <0x54>;

API documentation
After the nRF Wi-Fi driver has been initialized, the application will see it as an Ethernet interface. To use the Ethernet interface, the application can use Zephyr Network APIs.
See the nRF70 Driver documentation to learn more about various modes of low-level API.
