PROFILE

Jan Müller

Worked on the nrfconnect/sdk-nrf and NordicBuilder/sdk-nrf repositories, delivering Bluetooth and embedded systems features focused on reliability, extensibility, and hardware compatibility. Developed an extensible HCI handler API for the SoftDevice Controller in C and CMake, enabling modular Bluetooth controller customizations. Improved Bluetooth latency and device discovery by refining MRAM configuration and removing restrictive RSSI filters. Enhanced cross-core data transport and time synchronization for nRF53 and nRF54h platforms, addressing timing bugs and updating device tree configurations. Provided clear documentation and practical workarounds for known radio timeslot issues, supporting maintainability and reducing integration risk across evolving Nordic hardware platforms.

Jun 1, 2026

June 2026 — nrfconnect/sdk-nrf: Delivered an extensible HCI handler API for the SoftDevice Controller, replacing the deprecated single-handler model. Implemented iterable sections to support multiple independent extensions registered and initialized at runtime, enabling modular Bluetooth controller customizations and scalable feature integration. This marks a foundational architectural shift toward extensibility and third-party extension support, with the old custom HCI handler deprecation established.

2025-11 monthly summary focused on stabilizing the ISO Time Sync sample on the nRF53 platform to improve cross-core data transport reliability and reduce packet flushing in the network core. No new feature deliveries this month; the emphasis was on stability, reliability, and maintainability of time-sync data paths. The work strengthens core data transport with the IPC_RADIO on the network core and lays groundwork for more deterministic behavior in time-sensitive samples.

September 2025 (Month: 2025-09) - Focused on stabilizing radio timeslot behavior for NRF54L/NRF54H platforms within the sdk-nrf repo by delivering clear documentation and a practical workaround. Key deliverable: DRGN-26138 known-issue documentation with an explicit workaround to clear specific radio events after timeslot usage, reducing undefined behavior risk and post-release debugging. This work enhances developer guidance, reduces field risk, and aligns with platform reliability goals across NRF54L/L/H series. Commit 2a99641a0b885a795056cce7ca16672173df110d (doc: Document known issue for DRGN-26138) was authored and signed off by Jan Müller to ensure traceability and governance.

March 2025 Monthly Summary (nrfconnect/sdk-nrf): Delivered Bluetooth reliability improvements focused on device discovery and sampling robustness, with enhanced diagnostics and documentation to support maintainability and faster iteration. Key features delivered and bugs fixed: - Bluetooth device discovery improvement (RSSI filter removal): Removed hardcoded RSSI distance check in the Bluetooth scanning sample to improve local device discoverability; now relies on device name filtering. This fixes issues where the RSSI gate blocked connections to nearby devices. (Commit: 6e7c8eb2a029392427a22ce8780486c8fd5d6dc9) - Timeslot management robustness in Bluetooth sample: Enhanced timeslot diagnostics and reliability by adding an explicit error message for overstayed timeslots and increasing the default timeslot overhead to prevent overstays and assertion failures on certain devices. Documentation updated accordingly. (Commits: 1110f8d9be8aff404b376ec42474af062c61a060; b2ec18e93f937616c38aa9b54fc70ce1f7db8e2b) Overall impact and accomplishments: - Improved local device discoverability and connection reliability in Bluetooth workflows, reducing flaky behavior in nearby-device scenarios. - Increased stability and predictability of Bluetooth sampling across device varieties through better diagnostics and conservative timing parameters. - Documentation improvements support faster onboarding and easier maintenance for Bluetooth-related samples. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Bluetooth sampling and device discovery, RSSI filtering concepts, and timeslot management. - Diagnostic messaging, error handling, and resilience in edge-case scenarios. - Code hygiene, commit traceability, and documentation practices.

December 2024 monthly performance summary for Nordic SDKs focusing on hardware compatibility, reliability, and version discipline across two major repos: NordicBuilder/sdk-nrf and nrfconnect/sdk-nrfxlib. Key outcomes include enabling NRF54h support for time synchronization samples, consolidating MPSL library revision across manifests and binaries, and fixing BIS timing and Channel Sounding calculations. The work improves hardware support for newer Nordic devices, reduces integration risk, and accelerates time-to-market for time-critical features. Deliverables also include updated configurations and documentation to reflect hardware resource usage and dependencies, demonstrating strong cross-cutting skills in build systems, device configuration, and version management.
