UG235.02: Using Silicon Labs Connect with IEEE 802.15.4

2020-04-16

This chapter of the Connect User’s Guidedescribes how to usethe Silicon Labs Connect stack with IEEE 802.15.4. The ConnectUser’s Guideassumes that you have already installed the Simplic-ity Studio development environment and the Flex SDK, and thatyou are familiar with the basics of configuring, compiling, andflashing Connect-based applications. Refer to UG235.01: Devel-oping Code with Silicon Labs Connect for an overview of thechapters in the Connect User’s Guide.The Connect User’s Guide is a series of documents that provides in-depth informationfor developers who are using the Silicon Labs Connect Stack for their application devel-opment. If you are new to Connect and the Flex SDK, see QSG138: Getting Started with the Silicon Labs Flex Software Development Kit for the Wireless Gecko (EFR32™) Port-folio.
Connect is supported for EFR32FG, EFR32MG1x, and EFR32BG1x.
KEY POINTS:
• Introduction to common terms used inIEEE 802.15.4
• IEEE 802.15.4 frame formats
• IEEE 802.15.4 security
• Common processes in IEEE 802.15.4
Silicon Labs Connect is based on the IEEE 802.15.4-2011 standard (abbreviated to IEEE 802.15.4). Therefore, to understand the Sili-con Labs Connect stack, you also need a basic knowledge of 802.15.4 which defines various Physical and Media Access Control layersthat are designed for low-data rate, low-power, and low-complexity, short-range communications in Personal Area Networks. IEEE802.15.4 is also the basis of mesh network protocols such as Zigbee® or Thread.This document provides a short introduction to the IEEE 802.15.4 features that are used in Connect so you can understand its MAClayer without having to read the IEEE 802.15.4 specification.
