Great meeting you at Mobile World Congress and embedded world
Thanks to everyone who visited us at embedded world and Mobile World Congress. It was great to share our latest technology and engage in interesting conversations with so many of you.
Highlight from MWC: We demonstrated Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN) connectivity using our nRF9151 SiP module. Satellite connectivity support for nRF9151 will be enabled in an upcoming release.
Highlight from the embedded world: Our Bluetooth Channel Sounding demo based on the nRF54L Series attracted much interest, and visitors were impressed with the accuracy and performance. Check out Robin explaining how Bluetooth Channel Sounding works:
Now broadly available for evaluation and development: nPM2100 PMIC
The nPM2100 is our ultra-efficient PMIC for primary-cell batteries. It integrates valuable features such as:
- Ultra-efficient boost regulator
- Accurate fuel gauging for primary-cell batteries
- 35 nA ultra-low-power ship mode
- 175 nA Hibernate mode with timed wakeups
It is now broadly available for evaluation and development:
- The nPM2100 EK (evaluation kit) is available from our distributors. See below.
- The nPM2100 Preliminary Datasheet and other technical documentation are publicly accessible.
- Technical support is available to all, including free hardware reviews.
New resources: Low-power Matter over Thread
Our Matter-over-Thread SoCs (or MCUs, if you prefer) are designed for battery-powered products, and with our latest nRF54L Series, power consumption is lower than ever. To help you evaluate power consumption and understand what’s possible, we’ve published a set of new resources we hope you’ll find helpful:
- Updated whitepaper: Matter over Thread: Power consumption and battery life
- Online Power Profiler for Matter over Thread
- On-demand webinar: Developing low-power Matter devices with nRF54L Series
- On-demand webinar: Lowering barriers for Matter device production & certification
New DevAcademy exercise: Remote Debugging with Memfault
Memfault, a Nordic partner, provides an observability platform that is purpose-built for connected and embedded IoT devices. Lesson 2 in the nRF Connect SDK Intermediate course now has an exercise where you learn how to:
- Set up a Memfault account and integrate it with an SDK project
- Collect and analyze real-time diagnostic data
- Simulate firmware crashes and debug with full system state snapshots
- Explore transport options (Bluetooth LE, Wi-Fi, or cellular) for sending diagnostic data
Check out the new Remote Debugging with Memfault exercise here!
New DevZone blog post: Debugging Thingy:91 X using Memfault
Developing a complex IoT product like Thingy:91 X can bring unexpected challenges, especially when reboots and crashes pop up late in the game. Our firmware team turned to Memfault to systematically identify and resolve the challenges.
Until next time!
Thanks for catching up with us. Have a great Easter, and as always, we’re looking forward to seeing you in the field or hearing from you on DevZone.
