3 Description
NINA-B221-02B and NINA-B222-02B have reached Initial Production status. These products
are pre-flashed with the u-connectXpress software version 3.0.0 and include new
functionalities and corrections associated with previous releases. Details about the software
can be found in the release note [4].
The hardware of each module has been updated with a new version of the ESP32 radio chip from
Espressif (part number ESP32‑D0WDQ6‑V3). The main difference between this later ESP32
version and the older chip version used in the NINA-B221-00B and NINA-B222-00B is a
correction in the secure bootloader ROM code. This correction resolves an issue that was
previously reported in the vulnerability reports CVE‑2019‑15894 and CVE‑2019‑17391.
4 Schedule
First production parts are available for shipments now.
