Fixed in SDK 17.0.0:

1. NRF_SPIM_EVENT_END not cleared on uninit in nrfx SPIM driver

2. Incorrect parameter used in lps22hb driver

3. nrf_cli linker error when NRF_CLI_HISTORY_ENABLED disabled

4. NRFX_NFCT_EVT_FIELD_LOST event occurs twice

5. pm_buffer sign-compare warning

6. APP_USBD_CONFIG_EVENT_QUEUE_ENABLE 0 stops working after the APP_USBD_EVT_POWER_REMOVED event

7. Missing NFC pin deactivation on pca10040e for nRF52810
8. nrf_serial library does not work with FreeRTOS as it creates a large number of app_timers
9. IoT examples lack MTU handling [IoT examples removed from the SDK]

10. DFU: Signature validation fails on SD boot validation using signature

11. DFU bootloader compilation error for boards without buttons

12. DFU: jump_to_addr implementation fails with optimization disabled

13. Clock driver (nrf_drv_clock) lockup when disabling SoftDevice when WDT is enabled
14. nrf_serial: corrupt loopback [nrf_serial library removed from the SDK]

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

16. mem_manager.c: NRF_LOG_BYTES_DEBUG() not defined

17. Channel "swapping" in SAADC buffer when sampling through PPI [Solved using nrfx_saadc API v2]

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

19. FDS: .can_gc flag is set as expected, but never cleared
20. ser_dbg_sd_str.c: wrong ifdef's lead to syntax errors in certain configurations

Inherited from older SDK(s):

1. Bug in FDS documentation
2. GFX line drawing mishandles start/end values

3. Eddystone configuration service together with other GATT services generate an error

4. Set tx power in TLM frame results in app error with eddystone configuration service

5. CC310 ChaCha-Poly should allow zero length data or adata if possible
6. ble_app_eddystone: Wrong advertising interval
7. Bug in nrf_esb_pop_tx()

8. Logger module: Logger will flush to free memory and immediately fill it again with a log message ("Backends flushed")

9. ble_app_eddystone_pca10040e_s112 example does not fit in flash

10. nrf_log_push(char* const) should be (const char*)

11. app_timer_cnt_get() not implemented in app_timer_freertos.c

12. app_timer_start does not check ticks parameter against APP_TIMER_MIN_TIMEOUT_TICKS in app_timer_freertos

13. NRFX_QDEC driver issue when not using LED GPIO

14. USB MSC fails to initialize disk

15. Not possible to use GPREGRET usage outside of bootloader

16. app_timer v2 stops working after softdevice initialization by MBR.

17. nrf_gzll_set_timeslot_period() only support 16 bit TIMER mode

18. USBD: Disabling ISO EP ends in assert

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

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

21. Missing timeout processing in serialization state machine

22. ble_app_hroughput: Race condition between LL reqs

23. app_button only support pins on GPIO PORT0

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

25. BLE scan module duplicate handling bug

26. BLE GATT Queue does not handle full SoftDevice hvx buffers

27. Spelling error in static-keyword for multi-instance ANCS_C macro

New issues found:

1. vTaskDelay on nRF52 FreeRTOS port wastes CPU/power
2. LFCLK is not started after soft-reset if WDT is enabled
3. Infinite log loop with autoflush
4. Bug in FreeRTOS log suspend
5. portTICK_PERIOD_MS could cause HardFault

Hardcoded GPIO port 0  in nrf_drv_twi.c to clear the bus when the pins does not work if the pins are on GPIO port 1
