Product Update Notification - nRF Connect SDK (v3.2.0)

nRF Connect SDK v3.2.0 Release Highlights

 

Added the following features as supported:

  • Matter:
    • Integration of Matter 1.5.0 with dedicated sample for closures:
      • Better closures - Supporting different motion types (sliding, rotating, opening), configurations (single/dual panels, nested mechanisms), and improved safety features (through precise position reporting).
      • Soil sensors - Introducing soil sensors that enable Matter-based valves and irrigation systems to optimize water use for plants.
      • Energy management - Providing real-time data on energy prices, carbon data, and advanced smart metering, thereby improving tracking, enabling grid coordination, and supporting EV charging features.
    • Introduced the Matter Quick Start app as part of nRF Connect for Desktop. This tool allows you to set up and configure Matter accessory devices and evaluate Matter samples without installing the nRF Connect SDK and setting up the development environment.
  • Bluetooth®:
    • Support for Bluetooth Core version 6.2.
    • LE Shorter Connection Intervals feature and sample.
    • LE Frame Space Update feature.
    • Central-only and Peripheral-only library variants for the nRF54H Series devices.
    • See the changelogs of MPSL and Softdevice Controller for the full list of improvements and changes.
  • Bluetooth Mesh:
  • Wi-Fi®:
  • Cellular and Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN):
  • nRF Desktop:
    • Support for the nRF54H20 DK that is based on the new IronSide SE architecture.

Added the following features as experimental:

  • Matter:
  • Wi-Fi:
    • nRF70 Series Wi-Fi connectivity stack on the nRF54LM20A SoC, using the nRF7002 EBII.
    • Wi-Fi Direct operation mode on the nRF7002 DK, with support for Wi-Fi Direct added to the Wi-Fi: WFA QuickTrack control application.
  • nRF54L Series:
    • This is the first release of nRF Connect SDK that brings experimental support for the nRF54LV10 DK and the nRF54LV10A SoC.
    • Protocols with experimental support include:
      • Bluetooth LE, including Channel Sounding
      • 2.4 GHz proprietary
    • All standard SoC peripherals are supported.
    • Device Firmware Update (DFU) and bootloader support.
    • PSA Crypto APIs (HW accelerated) for cryptographic operations and key storage.
    • Trusted Firmware-M providing secure processing environment.
    • Out-of-the-box support across many standard SDK samples.
  • Device Firmware Update (DFU) and Firmware Over-the-Air (FOTA):
    • Single slot DFU support for the nRF54H20 SoC and the nRF54L Series.
    • Encrypted DFU support using ECIES on the nRF54L15, nRF54LM20, and nRF54LV10 SoCs.
    • Support for DFU using external flash on the nRF54H20 SoC.

Improved:

  • System-Off mode can now be used in devices running TF-M.
  • Bluetooth:
    • The Quality of Service (QoS) channel survey feature now supports incremental channel surveying, allowing scheduling with smaller or shorter timeslots.
    • MPSL and Softdevice Controller :
      • The Scheduler can now manage events that are scheduled less than 100 microseconds apart.
      • Timeslot events can now run for longer than 128 seconds.
    • Reduced code size for nRF52 and nRF53 Series devices.

Deprecated:

  • The Matter over Wi-Fi support on the nRF5340 SoC combined with nRF7002. It is recommended to switch to using the nRF54LM20A SoC (in combination with the nRF7002 EBII), which provides a significantly larger amount of available non-volatile memory for Matter over Wi-Fi applications.

Removed:
