Requirements AMG88xx Evaluation Kit¶
On the AMG88xx Evaluation Kit, all jumpers except the J11 and J14 must be removed. This shield can only be used with a board that provides a configuration for Arduino connectors and defines node aliases for I2C and GPIO interfaces (see Shields for more details).

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
