Added Support for Additional Nordic nRF91 Devices

Feb 17, 2026

With the release of Cyclone software v11.68 and PROG v9.97, PEMicro’s development and production tools now include support for Nordic Semiconductor nRF9151 and nRF9161 devices. The nRF9151/9161 are Cortex-M33 based modules with 1MB of flash and 256MB of RAM and are specifically designed for cellular IoT and DECT NR+ applications. The new algorithms, "Nordic_nRF9151_1MB.arp" and "Nordic_nRF9161_1MB.arp", support the nRF9151 and nRF9161 devices respectively. 

With this support, the User information configuration registers (UICR) region at 0x00FF8000-0x00FF8FFF is available for reprogramming. To reprogram the UICR region, the EM Erase module command needs to be run first to erase the region. 

If there are any issues connecting to the target, particularly when it is erased, then the "mass erase upon connection to target" checkbox should be selected. This checkbox can be found in the connection manager of PROGACMP or the Power and Communication settings tab in the Image Creation utility.
