nRF Connect SDK support for nRF54 Series SoCs is not available at this time, see Compatibility for more information
Multiprotocol coexistence with BLE is tested with the provided default sample configuration only (hci_ipc)
Multiprotocol coexistence with any other wireless radio protocol is untested

Unsupported ANT features:

Update the ANT library to sync with the latest nRF Connect SDK dependencies
Allocate (D)PPI resources at runtime instead of relying on reserved channels (introduces nrfx dependency)
Fix BLE API usage to account for deprecated automatic name BLE advertiser option in multiprotocol/ble_ant_app_hrm sample
Use mpsl_ecb instead of sdc_soc interface for encrypted channel support
Migrate samples to HWMv2
Added sysbuild support for all samples, see Nordic’s sysbuild documentation for instructions
- Child and parent image functionality for dual core SoCs is deprecated and should be replaced with sysbuild
- This means that netcore options must be set in /sysbuild instead of /child_image (including ANT License Keys)
- /child_image folders remain in the samples for compatibility, but will only be used when using “No sysbuild” build configurations (or west option –no-sysbuild)
