Fixed in SDK 15.0.0:

1. Defining your own NRF_DFU_HW_VERSION leads to an error
2. app_button does not support GPIO pins in PORT1 on nRF52840 (?)
3. TWI master driver does not configure GPIOs in PORT1 on nRF52840
4. micro-ecc build_all.sh does not work on Unix/OSX
5. Compile errors in nrf_crypto module
6. USBD_MSC Disk initialization error after unplugged USB
7. BUG in nrf52_common.ld
8. The ble_app_uart example will will print an error out of the box
9. Wrong default value for NRF_SDH_BLE_VS_UUID_COUNT in bootloader_secure_ble
10. QSPI driver will deadloop if the READY event is never received after ACTIVATE is issued

 

Inherited from older SDK(s):

1. app_timer bug: timeout triggered immediately if the timeout value is greater than MAX_RTC_COUNTER_VAL/2  [Using app_timer2 solves this]
2. UART driver does not issue STOPTX causing high current in idle [Fixed in SDK 15.3.0]
3. Bug in FDS documentation

6. Clock driver (nrf_drv_clock) lockup when disabling SoftDevice when WDT is enabled

7. nrf_serial: corrupt loopback

8. nrf_gzll_set_timeslot_period() only support 16 bit TIMER mode

9. NUS implementation calls NULL function pointer if no event handler is supplied and notifications are enabled

10. mem_manager.c: NRF_LOG_BYTES_DEBUG() not defined

11. Channel "swapping" in SAADC buffer when sampling through PPI

12. The SDK fatfs port enters a deadlock after an unsuccessful initialization.

13. USBD: Disabling ISO EP ends in assert

14. PM_EVT_CONN_SEC_SUCCEEDED generated twice during Encryption procedure [Fixed in SDK 15.3.0]

15. DTM missing radio power output for nRF52840 [Fixed in SDK 15.1.0]

16. nrf_drv_uart not handling RX abort if double-buffering is used

17. GLS: The “first/last” RACP sending logic has an endless loop

18. Missing timeout processing in serialization state machine

19. ble_app_hroughput: Race condition between LL reqs

20. Source and destination parameters to memcpy swapped in nrf_ringbuf_cpy_get() [Fixed in SDK 15.1.0]

21. app_button only support pins on GPIO PORT0

22. nrf_drv_timer_[us/ms]_to_ticks() does not consider frequency [Fixed in SDK 15.3.0]

23. ESB: Flushing TX FIFO before using ACK payload corrupts the TX (ACK) payload
