 It feels like i have a follow up question of my ticket here . 
 We are currently developing a product using the nrf54l15 using the nrf connect SDK v2.9.1 with the toolchain of the same version. 
 We want to include BLE with periodic advertising</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Tue, 01 Jul 2025 08:42:26 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/122631/ble-fails-on-connect" /><item><title>RE: BLE fails on connect</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/540989?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 01 Jul 2025 08:42:26 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:fa96b41f-9db4-43a3-b650-81a2dfa9ad13</guid><dc:creator>Kazi Afroza Sultana</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hello,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Have you tried to run the sample on Nordic DK? If it works on the nRF54L15 DK, then it could be hardware issue on your custom board.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;MPSL assert error usually relates to HFXO; even though you found the crystal working ok, there may be unproperly soldered decouple capacitors (specially on pin DEC4) on the board or the load capacitor is not correct.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There are known issues with the default HFXO latency settings on nRF54L15 series devices, which can prevent Bluetooth events running proerly.&amp;nbsp;&lt;span&gt;The workaround is to increase the configured HFXO startup time or the&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;code dir="ltr"&gt;CONFIG_MPSL_HFCLK_LATENCY&lt;/code&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;Kconfig option. Specifically, it is recommended to set the HFXO startup time to 1650 microseconds or increase&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;code dir="ltr"&gt;CONFIG_MPSL_HFCLK_LATENCY&lt;/code&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;by 512 microseconds to allow tuning to complete. This is especially important for nRF54L15, nRF54L10, and nRF54L05 devices&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="https://docs.nordicsemi.com/bundle/ncs-latest/page/nrf/releases_and_maturity/known_issues.html#multiprotocol_service_layer_mpsl" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;Multiprotocol Service Layer (MPSL) Known Issues&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
