nRF54L15 + MCUboot + NCS v3.0.2: Range issue with MCUBoot

Hi,

We’re developing a BLE-based product on the nRF54L15 (InsightSIP ISP2454-LX) using nRF Connect SDK v3.0.2, with MCUboot enabled for DFU.

Our BLE application is based on a custom service and configured to use +8 dBm Tx power. Initially, everything works fine. I am getting good range with +8 dBm Tx power.

I used following macro to achieve same.

CONFIG_BT_CTLR_TX_PWR_DYNAMIC_CONTROL=y
CONFIG_BT_CTLR_TX_PWR_PLUS_8=y
 

Problem:

After enabling MCUboot via sysbuild, the BLE behavior changes. I am getting ~5 times less range. 

We confirmed that this issue only occurs after enabling MCUboot. Without the bootloader, range is very good.

Please help me to get same range after adding MCUBoot.80015.prj.conf5123.mcuboot.conf1803.sysbuild.conf
