Is Zigbee R23 available at latest nrf connect SDK?

[Jeffery]

Hi Nordic

In the documentation of Zigbee sample of nrf Connect SDK, it said:

>>

Support for Zigbee R22 has been deprecated in nRF Connect SDK v2.8.0 and it will be removed in one of the future releases, following the deprecation policy. As a result, the nRF52833, nRF52840, and nRF5340 SoCs are not recommended for new Zigbee designs. Experimental support for Zigbee R23 is available for the nRF54L Series as an nRF Connect SDK Add-on.

According to your schedule, when will you release Zigbee R23 samples at formal ncs version (ex:2.10.0)?  which ncs version?

2.

If now we want to try R23, it said "Zigbee R23 is available for the nRF54L Series as an nRF Connect SDK Add-on". I have no idea how to use add-on to build and run R23 sample. Did you have hands-on guide for whole process? The process includes where to download R23 project at Add-on, and how to integrate Z23 project to certain ncs SDK. Then, build and flash well to NRF54L DK.

Thanks

Hi Jeff,

1.

Zigbee is only released as an add-on from nRF Connect SDK v2.8.0 and on.

If now we want to try R23, it said "Zigbee R23 is available for the nRF54L Series as an nRF Connect SDK Add-on". I have no idea how to use add-on to build and run R23 sample. Did you have hands-on guide for whole process? The process includes where to download R23 project at Add-on, and how to integrate Z23 project to certain ncs SDK. Then, build and flash well to NRF54L DK.

The Zigbee add-on documentation includes a guide on how to set it up: Zigbee add-on — Requirements and setup. You can also find information in the SDK documentation under Creating application from add-ons. We do not currently have a guide for the entire process.

Best regards,

Will R23 be available for the nRF52840 Dongle and nRF5340 DK? Or does it depend on features only available on the nRF54L Series?

Hi,

Currently, it supports only the nRF54L. I am not able to answer questions about our timeline or roadmap, but if you want to know more about future support of Zigbee you can contact your local sales representative from Nordic Semiconductor.

Best regards,

Hi,

Experimental support for Zigbee R23 on the nRF52840 will be available in the coming weeks.

Best regards,
Marte
