nRF Connect SDK is Nordic's software development kit for developing both Bluetooth® Low Energy, Bluetooth® mesh, Thread, Zigbee, Matter and cellular IoT applications. nRF Connect SDK is a scalable solution that supports our nRF21, nRF52, nRF53 and nRF91 Series.

In this webinar, Bjørn, Pål and Martin will give a short introduction to the nRF Connect SDK, followed by the exciting new features in this latest release.

 Highlights:

• Added experimental support for Nordic Distance Toolbox with examples. The software package adds phase-based distance measurement support for the nRF52 and nRF53 Series of devices.
• Added experimental support for Amazon Frustration-Free Setup (FFS) for Matter devices.
• Added deep power-down mode to QSPI driver to optimize energy usage for solutions using an external flash memory.
• Added support for micro:bit v2 board.
• Added support for filtered ephemeris that improves A-GPS download size.
• Updated the support for Periodic Advertising with the SoftDevice Controller. It is no longer experimental.
• Updated the Zigbee solution on nRF5340. It is no longer experimental and is now Zigbee Platform Certification compliant.
• Replaced proprietary sockets with nrf_modem APIs that include link-time optimization, thereby reducing memory usage.
