Years ago I had a "smart" watch that had a sim card and was a full mobile phone within its own right, I think it was just 10 years or so too early.
Concur. With nRF, you have to bolt on a separate 70002 Wi-Fi Chip.
And this chip isn't a normal QSPI chip where you read the datasheet. You have to use NRF connect, and Zephyr.
So, this brings up the obvious question: What if I don't want my whole firmware to be Zephyr nRF-connect, just for a Wi-Fi chip?
