Low Power compact IoT dev board with nRF54L15 SoC supports Bluetooth 6.0, Thread, Zigbee, NFC, and integrates with nRF Connect SDK for low-power wireless development.
The MakerDiary nRF54L15 Connect Kit is a compact IoT development board built around Nordic’s nRF54L15 multiprotocol SoC, supporting Bluetooth 6.0 LE, 802.15.4 (Thread, Zigbee, Matter), and proprietary 2.4 GHz communication. It’s designed for rapid prototyping of low-power wireless devices such as sensors, wearables, and smart home products.
It features an Arm Cortex-M33 CPU with a RISC-V coprocessor, 256 KB SRAM, and 1.5 MB NVM, along with an nRF52820 interface MCU that enables CMSIS-DAP debugging, USB-UART bridging, and UF2 bootloading.

The board offers 31 GPIOs, 8 ADC pins, and multiple UART/I²C/SPI ports, as well as PDM/I²S audio interfaces and PWM support. Additional features of the board include USB-C connectivity, NFC-A tag, U.FL antenna connectors, and a TPS63901 buck-boost converter with selectable I/O voltage (1.8 V/3.3 V).
The nRF54L15 Connect Kit is fully compatible with nRF Connect SDK and Zephyr RTOS. To make things even simpler, the company also offers access to Nordic’s sample applications, libraries, and drivers. It works seamlessly with nRF Connect for Desktop tools for setup, debugging, and firmware flashing. MakerDiary also provides documentation, a getting-started guide, and example projects on its Wiki and GitHub repository, for developers to quickly prototype and deploy wireless applications.
