Bluetooth Core 6.0 modules get PSA Level 3 security

uBlox NORA-B266

U-blox has introduced Bluetooth LE modules with PSA Certified Level 3 security, based on Nordic Semiconductor’s nRF54L family of wireless mocrocontrollers. The modules “are qualified against Bluetooth Core 6.0 that includes Channel Sounding, enabling tracking and locating use cases”, according to  U-blox. The multi-protocol 2.4GHz radio can also handle Thread, Zigbee, Matter, Nordic’s proprietary 2.4 GHz protocol and Amazon Sidewalk. ...

RP2350 with 2.4GHz radio, Bluetooth and 16Mbyte flash

Pimoroni Pico Plus 2 W

Sheffield-based Pimoroni has introduced a wireless development board with Raspberry Pi’s RP2350 microcontroller. 2.4GHz comms is through a Raspberry Pi RM2 module – a module that Raspberry Pi has yet to reveal. Update (Oct 24): Pimoroni now sells the RM2 alone on a breakout board (link below). Also on-board is 16Mbyte of QSPI flash, 8Mbyte of ram, USB-C and a ...

Stripped-down 2.4GHz-only Wi-Fi 6 radio chip for lower cost designs

nRF7001 QFN48 6x6mm

Nordic Semiconductor has taken 5GHz radios out of its recent nRF7002 Wi-Fi 6 companion IC, to create the 2.4GHz-only nRF7001. “nRF7001 lowers the cost of the bill-of-materials for designs requiring single band capability for smart home, smart city, industrial automation and other low power Wi-Fi IoT applications”, it said. It “offers all the Wi-Fi functionality of the nRF7002, including compliance ...
