ERF32BG29 & ERF32MG29 Development Boards

Silicon Labs ERF32BG29 and ERF32MG29 Development Boards help developers profile energy usage, debug applications, and analyze wireless network behavior. An EFR32xG29 Gecko Wireless System-on-Chip (SoC) is featured on a radio board that plugs directly into a Wireless Starter Kit (Wireless STK) Mainboard or a Wireless Pro Kit Mainboard. The mainboards feature several tools for easy evaluation and development of wireless applications. An onboard J-Link debugger enables programming and debugging on the target device over USB or Ethernet. The Advanced Energy Monitor (AEM) offers real-time current and voltage monitoring. A virtual COM port interface (VCOM) provides a straightforward serial port connection via USB or Ethernet. The Packet Trace Interface (PTI) offers invaluable debug information about transmitted and received packets in wireless links. All debug functionality, including AEM, VCOM, and PTI, can also be used towards external target hardware instead of the attached radio board. To further enhance usability, the mainboard contains sensors and peripherals that demonstrate some of the many capabilities of the EFR32xG29. The mainboard also has a 20-pin EXP header that can be used for connecting EXP boards to the kit or for easy connection to I/Os on the radio board target IC.
