Peripherals used by the Zigbee stack

[Ros]

Hi,

Where are the peripherals required for the Zigbee stack documented? I have searched, but only broken links have been returned by Google. I'm using Connect SDK v2.9

Hi, 

See Protocol support for Zigbee:

What is the Zigbee version supported in Connect SDK 2.9 for the nRF52840/nRF52833?

I believe there is some confusion regarding the original question, which is about the peripherals (e.g., Timer0, Timer1, etc.) used by the Zigbee stack. Could you clarify which peripherals are available for use in user code or provide a reference to relevant documentation?

No. That means the new Zigbee R23 is available for the nRF54L Series.

 Zigbee R22.

There is no existing description in NCS, but I think it would be similar to the Zigbee peripheral requirements of nRF5 SDK. I will double check with the team.

There are three chips for Zigbee (nRF52833, nRF52840, and nRF5340), and they are not recommended for new projects. Support for the nRF54L Series is experimental, meaning it may or may not be discontinued in the future.
```Experimental

The feature can be used for development, but it is not recommended for production````

So what remains?

As the documentation states the feature is incomplete in functionality or verification and can be expected to change in future releases. The feature is made available in its current state, but the design and interfaces can change between release tags. Please contact your regional sales manager or use the form of Sales related questions for the feature/roadmap/plan/schedule.

This is exactly what I'm saying. I cannot see any chip recommended for new Zigbee projects.
