Nov 1, 2025

November 2025 (2025-11) — nrfconnect/sdk-nrf modem-related updates focused on reliability, security, and configuration clarity. Key features delivered include: 1) Modem firmware update reliability and security enhancements: prevalidation for modem firmware before installation was implemented, and the external flash configuration for modem full update samples was fixed to restore a reliable update path. 2) Modem library configuration simplification: deprecated UART trace backend Kconfig option was removed to streamline modem settings and reduce misconfiguration risk. Major bugs fixed include the external flash configuration issue affecting modem full update samples and the removal of deprecated configuration paths, which also reduces maintenance overhead. Overall impact: these changes reduce update failure risk, prevent potential bricking during firmware updates, and improve developer experience and maintainability through clearer modem configuration. Technologies/skills demonstrated: firmware update workflow hardening (prevalidation), Kconfig-based configuration cleanup, and commit-level traceability with signed-off commits.
