and driver support for all peripherals on all nRF5 Series devices.
SDKs for Bluetooth Mesh, Thread, Zigbee and other protocols are also available.
nRF Connect is a cross-platform tool that enables testing and development with
Bluetooth® Low Energy (previously called Bluetooth Smart). It allows easy setup
of connections with other devices and uses these connections to read and write
the external nodes. Available for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
nRF Connect for Mobile, previously known as nRF Master Control Panel, is a
powerful generic tool that allows you to scan and explore your Bluetooth Low
Energy devices and communicate with them. nRF Connect for Mobile supports
several Bluetooth SIG adopted profiles, as well as the Device Firmware Update
profile (DFU) from Nordic Semiconductor or Eddystone from Google. Available
for iOS and Android.
Additional mobile utilities for your application development. Available for iOS
