UG235: Silicon Labs Connect User's Guide

2019-09-23

This user guide provides in-depth information for developers who are using the Silicon Labs Connect stack as a foundation for their application development on the Wireless Gecko (EFR32™) port-folio or custom hardware. The Connect stack is delivered as part of the Silicon Labs Flex SDK. This guide assumes that you have already installed the Simplicity Studio development environment and the Flex SDK, and that you are familiar with the basics of configuring, compiling, and flashing Connect-based applications.



The Silicon Labs Connect stack provides a fully-featured, easily-customizable wireless networking solution optimized for devices that require low power consumption and are used in a simple network topology. Connect is configurable to be compliant with regional com-munications standards worldwide. Each RF configuration is designed for maximum performance under each regional standard.The Silicon Labs Connect stack supports many combinations of radio modulation, frequency and data rates. The stack provides support for end nodes, coordinators, and range extenders. It includes all wireless MAC (Medium Access Control) layer functions such as scan-ning and joining, setting up a point-to-point or star network, and managing device types such as sleepy end devices, routers, and coor-dinators. With all this functionality already implemented in the stack, users can focus on their end application development and not wor-ry about the lower-level radio and network details.The Silicon Labs Connect stack should be used in applications with simple network topologies, such as a set of data readers feeding information directly to a single central collection point (star or extended star topology), or a set of nodes in the same range exchanging data in a single-hop fashion (direct devices). It does not provide a full mesh networking solution such as that provided by the EmberZ-Net PRO or Silicon Labs Thread stack.The Silicon Labs Connect stack supports efficient application development through its “building block” plug-in design. When used with Silicon Labs Application Builder, developers can easily select which functions should be included in the application. The resulting appli-cations are completely portable, in that they can be recompiled for different regions, different MCUs, and different radios.
