Requirements and setup

This page outlines the requirements that you need to meet before you start working with the experimental support release of Zigbee add-on and Zigbee R23 protocol.

Note

This is an experimental release of Zigbee support for the nRF54L Series.

Hardware requirements

Currently the nRF54L15 SoC is supported for use with Zigbee add-on.

To work with the Zigbee add-on for the nRF Connect SDK and test the available samples, you need at least two nRF54L15 development kits (DK).

For the Quick start guide, you need three devices.

Software requirements

To work with the Zigbee add-on, you need to install the nRF Connect SDK, including all its prerequisites and the nRF Connect SDK toolchain. Follow the Installing the nRF Connect SDK instructions, with the following exception:

In the Get the nRF Connect SDK code part of the install instructions:

In Step 4, select Browse nRF Connect SDK Add-on Index instead of selecting the SDK version, then select Zigbee, and select v0.1.0 of the Zigbee add-on, which also installs nRF Connect SDK v2.8.0.

To create an application, use Zigbee: Template sample as a starting point.
