Memfault, provider of the first IoT reliability platform, announced an extension of its partnership with Nordic Semiconductor to give Bluetooth Low Energy developers building on nRF52 and nRF53 Series easy access to Memfault’s device reliability engineering capabilities. The updated integration gives nRF52 and nRF53 Series developers the same streamlined experience as nRF91 Series developers with an out-of-the-box integration of the Memfault platform to accelerate product development, derisk product launches, and ship more robust, always-improving products.

“Partnering with Memfault has enabled Nordic customers to maintain and improve their devices more efficiently with deep insights into deployed devices’ performance,” said Kjetil Holstad, EVP of Product Management at Nordic Semiconductor. “Enhancing this partnership with a deeper Memfault integration into our Bluetooth Low Energy chipsets will make it easier than ever for developers to accelerate time-to-market and deliver feature-rich products at scale.”
Building devices that utilize Bluetooth Low Energy introduces unique performance and debugging challenges that make access to field diagnostic data critical to delivering a successful product. These challenges include wireless range and communication stability in real-world environments, connection handshaking and performance with varied Bluetooth LE gateways and mobile devices, battery life optimization, and many more. Memfault’s IoT reliability platform helps capture relevant metrics and issue data remotely from the devices operating in development or production, develop fixes or improvements, and monitor updates across hardware and software releases. The new nRF Connect SDK v2.1.0 enables rapid creation of a data pipeline for the nRF52 and nRF53 Series to the cloud and out-of-the-box device debugging and fault analysis capabilities. It includes Memfault SDK examples and template gateway applications for both Android and iOS developers so developers can get started in minutes. With no cost for up to 100 devices, teams using Memfault and Nordic can begin using Memfault for small fleets of development devices for free.
“Integrating Memfault’s device reliability platform into our Nordic chipsets, which enabled Bluetooth LE communication for WHOOP 3.0 and 4.0, allowed our team to access high quality field diagnostics data from our wearable technology and improve product performance,” said Bill Diken, Director of Embedded Engineering at Whoop.
