Exciting new features in nRF Connect SDK v1.9

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, we give a short introduction to the nRF Connect SDK, followed by exciting new features in this release.

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 SoC. 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.
