nRF54L15/nRF54H20 Firmware & Hardware Development Services | BLE, Matter & Thread

We turn our ideas into quantifiable specifications, such as working time, distance, delay, capacity, sensors, safety, reconstructions, and price.

Our specialists analyze the two required Systems on Chip (SoC) and important Nordic chips and decide on earlier mentioned components and their place in a system of devices, mobile phone, gateway, and cloud service. If we consider a product that needs to be charged, we could use either the nPM1300 or nPM1304 chips.

Our hardware work covers schematics, component selection, PCB layout, antenna matching, stack-up, power regulation, battery charging, USB, debugging and design-for-manufacturing review.

We account for antenna keep-out, grounding, switching noise, sensor placement and enclosure materials early.

Projects can begin with a development kit or module and progress to a custom board. Deliverables may include PCB sources, Gerbers, pick-and-place data, BOM with alternates, assembly drawings and bring-up procedures. We also support EVT, DVT and production revisions.

We create advanced C/C++ firmware based on Nordic’s nRF Connect SDK and Zephyr RTOS. The work can involve the use of Devicetree, device drivers, threads, work queues, state machines, persistent configuration, watchdogs, recovery, logging and automated tests.

In case of the nRF54H20, we set up the access to the processor, the memory allocation, the communication between processors and the boot process.

When optimizing power usage we analyze the current traces. We analyze connection and connection intervals, sensor sampling, clocks, regulators, wake events, memory retention and peripheral leakage in order to draw up a power budget related to actual exploitation.

Our BLE services include GAP/GATT architecture, standard or custom services, secure pairing, bonding, notifications, high-throughput transfers and firmware update. We develop iOS and Android companion apps and test reconnection, background behavior and version compatibility on real devices.

For Bluetooth Mesh, we can implement provisioning, node configuration, relay and friendship behavior, group control and device models. Where accurate ranging is part of the roadmap, we can assess nRF54L15 Bluetooth Channel Sounding against the required accuracy, antenna arrangement and product environment before committing to a positioning claim.

We build Matter-over-Thread devices such as locks, sensors, lighting controls, thermostats and building-automation nodes. Work includes Thread networking, commissioning over BLE, Matter data-model implementation, clusters and attributes, access control, persistent storage and over-the-air updates. We can also integrate a border-router or cloud ecosystem where the commercial product requires it.

Test plans cover commissioning, fabric handling, credential reset, network loss, power interruption, OTA failure and targeted Matter ecosystems. Zigbee and proprietary 2.4 GHz firmware are available for applicable nRF54L15 designs.

One needs to realize that when it comes to encryption, that it only serves as a basis for building security measures.

Devices must be defined in terms of assets, trust seams and attack vectors, followed by a very systematic implementation involving secure boot, firmware signing, protection of the keys, authenticated updates, a rollback strategy, controlling the debugging interface and provisioning for manufacturing.

The isolation provided by the TrustZone technology along with the crypto capabilities on nRF5x platform can make sure that sensitive operations are executed separately from the application code.

Also, it is crucial to design and implement a well-planned approach to how version control, deployment of updates, recovery of old firmware, logging errors, as well as responses to incidents should work together.
