Starting with the nRF54L series – nRF54L15 Development Kit
The nRF54L15 DK is the development kit for all three wireless SoC (System-on-Chip) options in the nRF54L series. The nRF54L15 sits on the development board, while the nRF54L10 and nRF54L05 can be emulated. The affordable single-board development kit makes all features of the wireless SoC available to the developer.
The nRF54L15 DK is supported by a comprehensive set of nRF connect tools and will have support in nRF Connect SDK v2.8.0 (available since November 14th, 2024). Developers can explore the full potential of the nRF54L15 using the extensive range of software samples, modules, and libraries available within the nRF Connect SDK.
