This section shows compatibility between nRF9160 modem firmware and nRF Connect SDK versions.
Versions are identified in the MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH format.
Nordic Semiconductor has fully tested and verified the compatibility of only the listed nRF Connect SDK and modem firmware versions.
Newer patch releases within the same minor modem firmware version are expected to be compatible with a specific nRF Connect SDK version if any earlier patch release is verified. For example, modem firmware v1.3.6 is verified with nRF Connect SDK v2.6.0. Therefore, modem firmware v1.3.7 is expected to be compatible even without being verified.
Similarly, newer patch releases within the same minor nRF Connect SDK version are expected to be compatible with a specific modem firmware version if any earlier patch release is verified. For example, nRF Connect SDK v3.0.0 is verified with modem firmware v1.3.7. Therefore, nRF Connect SDK v3.0.1 is expected to be compatible even without being verified.
