Introduction The nRF54L15 is Nordic Semiconductor’s fourth-generation Bluetooth Low Energy chip. It brings Bluetooth 6.0, Channel Sounding, Thread and Matter support, and a much faster processor than the nRF52 series it succeeds, alongside expanded non-volatile memory and RAM. Before any firmware is written, every nRF54L15 project faces the same hardware decision: design the chip directly

Originally Published in Electronics Specifier, February 2022 Updated 4th November 2026 with latest developments Table of Contents Anyone following the development of Bluetooth Low Energy will have heard about Bluetooth Low Energy Audio. But what is it, exactly? Is it the same as Bluetooth 5.2? And does that mean Bluetooth 5.2 compliant devices support BLE

On 9th December 2020, the Bluetooth SIG released revision 5.2 of Bluetooth. One of the key upgrades was the addition of BLE Audio (“Bluetooth Low Energy Audio”). Releasing a spec is just the start of a process. It is only today that real IOT devices are finally available with BLE Audio capability.  Originally Published in Electronics

Over the last decade, processors used in embedded systems have become increasingly sophisticated. Not long ago, simple 8 or 16-bit microprocessors were common. Now ARM core 32-bit processors are almost standard. Read full article on CIE Online. Dual core processors arrive The latest innovation has been dual core embedded processors. For instance, Nordic Semiconductor and ST
