1. Hardware Environment Setup
The required equipments are as follows:

  • 1 x Nordic nRF54L15-DK: PCA10156(1.0.0)
  • 1 x AN54LV-DB-15 (Raytac nRF54L15 module Development Board)
  • 1 x IDC Ribbon Cable
  • 2 x USB Type-C Connection Cables

* Reminder: The "Nordic nRF54L15-DK" and "Raytac AN54LV-DB-15 Development Board" must be used together to proceed with application development and flashing firmware into the Raytac AN54LV-DB-15 development board.

Setup Steps:
Step 1: Connect the J-Link on the Nordic DK with the AN54LV-DB-15 using the IDC ribbon cable.



Make sure to match the red side of the IDC ribbon cable with "1" printed on the AN54LV-DB-15's J-Link socket.


Step 2: Use the Type-C USB cables to supply power to both the nRF54L15-DK and the AN54LV-DB-15.


The outcome should be same as the picture above.

Step 3: AN54LV-DB-15 Schematic(Click on the schematic to zoom in):



2. Software Development Kit Resources and Environment Setup
Software Tool kits & Download Links:
Download nRF Connect for Desktop: Download nRF Connect For Desktop (Please Click Me)
Download nRF Command Line Tools: Download nRF Command Line Tools (Please Click Me)
Download Visual Studio Code(VS Code): Download nRF Command Line Tools (Please Click Me)

Setup Steps:
Step 1: Download the latest version of nRF Connect for Desktop. Choose the Windows 64-bit - version 5.3.1 installer (nrfconnect-setup-5.3.1-x64.exe). Once finished, you will see " nRF Connect for Desktop" on your PC.

Step 2: Download the latest version of nRF Command Line Tools. Choose the Windows X86 64 - version 10.24.2 installer (nrf-command-line-tools-10.24.2-x64.exe)

* Reminder: During the installation of the above two programs, a window may pop up prompting that SEGGER J-LINK needs to be installed or updated concurrently.

If you’re initiating Segger Embedded Studio (SES) application, please check the guideline here(Click me)\


Step 3: Download the latest version of Visual Studio Code (VS Code). Choose Windows VSCodeUserSetup-x64 version 1.122 (VSCodeUserSetup-x64-1.122.1.exe). Once complete, you will see "Visual Studio Code" on your PC.

Step 4: After installation is complete, you can verify the installed packages in your PC's Control Panel under "Programs and Features":



3. Software/Firmware Application Development
You can develop application programs within the VS Code IDE development environment.
Below steps are how to install and select your target SDK version (nRF Connect SDK v3.3.0 in this article):

Step 1: Launch "VS Code"-> Select "nRF Connect" icon/extension on the side menu.


Click "Manage SDKs" and then select "Install SDK".


Step 2: Select "nRF Connect SDK".


Step 3: You will see several available versions of nRF Connect SDK vx.x.x. It is highly recommended to choose and install NCS v3.3.0 or later. In this guide, we select nRF Connect SDK(NCS) v3.3.0.


Step 4: Before starting the download for (NCS)v3.3.0, confirm your preferred target installation pathway.
By default, it is configured to c:\ncs\v3.3.0. Press 'Enter' to confirm.


Step 5: Once the nRF Connect SDK v3.3.0 environment setup finishes successfully, open the Bluetooth sample folder and select the "peripheral_uart" application template, then click "Open".


Step 6: In the "nRF Connect" layout, go to "Applications" --> "Add build configuration".


Under "Board target", look up and select "nrf54l15dk/nrf54l15/cpuapp" --> "Generate and Build".


* Note: You can also choose the board name “raytac_an54lv_db_15/nrf54l15/cpuapp” for subsequent building and development.


After completing the configuration, you will see "Build complete".


Step 7: Compilation completed. Once completed, a binary file named "zephyr.hex" will be generated in your "build" directory.


Step 8: Under the "ACTIONS" interface, you can switch between Build, Debug, and Flash functionalities dynamically.

Build


Debug


Flash


Step 9: CRITICAL BEFORE FLASHING/DEBUGGING: You have to change the VDD voltage configuration on the nRF54L15-DK board to 3.3V.

To do this: Launch "nRF Connect for Desktop" -> choose "Board Configurator" -> click "Open"


Change the VDD target selection value to "3.3V" -> click "Write config".



4. Flashing / Programming
The nRF Connect SDK (NCS) natively supports direct programming.
You can utilize the "Programmer" application tool to flash the compiled zephyr.hex binary file onto the target chip.
The exact procedure is detailed below:

Step 1: Open "nRF Connect for Desktop" -> select "Programmer" and click "Open".


Click "Select Device" and choose "nRF54L15DK".


Click "Add file".


Step 2: Select your compiled target ".hex" file.


Click "Erase & write" to initiate the programming/flashing process.


While flashing, a progress diagonal pattern will display on the right-hand panel.


When the LOG shows a "completed" status text, it means that the programming/flashing is successfully done.


Step 3: After the flash operation completes, you can download the "nRF Connect for Mobile" app to scan and verify that the Raytac AN54LV-DB-15 development board is advertising normally.

Raytac and onceLabs Deepen Collaboration with Live Demo of Mobile‑to‑Embedded Bluetooth Channel Sounding

 A LinkedIn debut becomes a live showcase at Embedded World North America with Raytac’s Bluetooth LE module solution and Google Pixel 10.

[Anaheim, CA — November 2, 2025]
At embedded world North America — Raytac Corporation, a global leader in wireless modules, together with onceLabs, a U.S.-based global Nordic Design Partner specializing in custom embedded and mobile application software, will present a live demo of Bluetooth Channel Sounding. The demonstration showcases the accuracy and potential of the new Bluetooth 6.0 feature by combining Raytac’s Nordic-based nRF54L15 (AN54LQ-15) module with a Google Pixel 10 smartphone.

Bluetooth Channel Sounding adds a new dimension to wireless connectivity by combining secure data transfer with the low‑power, low‑cost Bluetooth technology already trusted worldwide — now extended to deliver precise location awareness. This evolution means IoT devices can gain both communication and ranging capabilities in a single, efficient platform. With tens of centimeter distance accuracy, Channel Sounding enables practical new use cases such as secure access, proximity‑based services, indoor navigation, and ‘Find My’ functionality.

Android 16 now supports Channel Sounding APIs, making it possible for developers to access this capability directly on flagship devices like the Pixel 10. With anticipated pervasive adoption across the mobile ecosystem, Channel Sounding is positioned to scale broadly and become a standard feature for IoT applications.

The onceLabs demo was reported as the first of its kind in August, gaining notability on LinkedIn(Post link) — and is now being shown for the first time in a public venue. onceLabs’ free BLE Hero app(Download Link) is a sniffer, analyzer, and development tool, available in app stores, and can be seen in action during the live demo. The Android version has been updated to capture and display Channel Sounding data, giving developers clear insight into ranging accuracy and system performance. Since 2018, Raytac and onceLabs have collaborated to bring new Bluetooth capabilities from specification to market‑ready solutions. Raytac’s proven hardware platforms and onceLabs’ application‑layer software expertise combine to accelerate adoption of emerging standards, showing how partnership can translate advanced technology into product‑ready functionality.

“Our collaboration with onceLabs has always been about enabling customers to move quickly and confidently with the latest Bluetooth technology,” said Lyon Liu, CEO of Raytac Corporation. “This live demo of Channel Sounding is another example of how our partnership delivers not just modules, but complete solutions that inspire new applications.”

Together, Raytac and onceLabs are demonstrating how Bluetooth Channel Sounding can move from specification to practical demonstrations that product companies can act on.

“With Raytac providing the hardware foundation and onceLabs delivering the application software, we continue to support customers in translating new Bluetooth features into real use cases,” said Joseph Bakalor, President and CTO of onceLabs. “Channel Sounding is a perfect example — and with our expertise in Zephyr RTOS, developers can build on open, production‑ready software that scales from prototype to deployment.”

The Raytac + onceLabs demo will be featured in Raytac Booth 5067 at embedded world North America, November 4–6, 2025, at the Anaheim Convention Center. Attendees are invited to visit the booth to see the demo in action and learn how Raytac and onceLabs can support their next wireless product.
