      Note: Project configuration enabling Experimental features on KW45 and MCX W71 requires the Radio Subsystem (NBU) Firmware to be reprogrammed with the firmware provided in the SDK under \middleware\wireless\ble_controller\bin\experimental\. For NBU programming steps, see the EVK Quick Start Guide and Secure Provisioning SDK (SPSDK) documentation.

      Project configurations that require usage of the Bluetooth LE controller including all Bluetooth LE examples require the Radio Subsystem (NBU) Firmware to be re-programmed with the firmware provided in the SDK under middleware\wireless\ble_controller\bin.
