Nordic Semiconductor announced that it is ready to release S132 v5.0 and nRF5 SDK v14.0, production-ready Bluetooth 5 software solutions for its nRF52832 SoC. Developers can use these solutions to implement high-performance Bluetooth 5-ready products based on the nRF52832 SoC.

Nordic Semiconductor announced the release of S132 v5.0 and nRF5 SDK v14.0, production-ready Bluetooth 5 software solutions that enable immediate development of Bluetooth 5 products based on its nRF52832 SoC.

It is a pre-validated Bluetooth 5 protocol stack that supports 20-link multi-functions, providing full links to enable all function combinations to be performed simultaneously. It supports new Bluetooth 5 features, including an enhanced 2Mbps PHY.

Developers can realize Bluetooth Low Energy's completely new, enhanced high throughput and increased data bandwidth through the 2Mbps PHY. Additionally, since data can be transmitted at twice the speed compared to before, the existing power budget can be reduced by up to 50%.



Other features include L2CAP Connection-Oriented Channels, network privacy, and a new Bluetooth channel selection algorithm (CSA #2). CSA #2 introduces an advanced channel hopping sequence to improve interoperability and stability between Bluetooth Low Energy devices in the congested 2.4 GHz band.

nRF5 SDK v14.0, which comes with S132 v5.0, supports all peripheral drivers for the nRF52832. It also includes L2CAP examples for Object Transfer Service (OTS), Direct Test Mode (DTM) for 2Mbps PHY and Coded PHY (long-range mode), and buttonless Device Firmware Upgrade (DFU) examples.

S132 v5.0 is a certified Bluetooth 5 protocol stack that, together with nRF5 SDK v14.0, provides an ideal platform for developers to implement fully Bluetooth 5 certified products.

"The nRF52832 has been incredibly popular in the Bluetooth developer community since its launch," said Kjetil Holstad, Short Range Wireless Product Manager at Nordic Semiconductor. "Many developers are now eager to take advantage of new features, including the high speed of 2Mbps in Bluetooth 5. This solution is currently available to enable developers to implement products using a pre-certified Bluetooth 5 protocol stack."
