May 2026 – Zephyr4Microchip/zephyr: Focused on hardware correctness and maintainability. Key fix corrected Device Tree pin mappings for u-blox boards on the nRF52832, preventing misconfiguration and reducing deployment risk. No new features shipped this month; patch improves reliability and reduces triage time for hardware issues.

February 2026 monthly summary for zephyr project. Delivered EVK-NORA-B2 board support with a new board definition and BLE development configuration for the nRF54-based EVK-NORA-B2 module. This work included configuration files and developer documentation to enable immediate BLE prototyping on the new hardware. The change is captured in commit 34c699dee18228c8ead6a20a0b0891a972fce91b.

January 2026: Delivered firmware-level FEM gain configuration for u-blox ubx_bmd345eval on the zephyr project, enabling explicit TX/RX gain values in the device tree to improve RF performance and repeatability. This aligns hardware-level tuning with software-managed configurations, simplifying deployment and testing across the board. The change was implemented via a signed-off commit that adds missing tx-gain and rx-gain values.
