The Thunderboard EFR32BG22 (OPN: SLTB010A) has been designed to inspire customers to make battery operated IoT devices withthe Silicon Labs EFR32BG22 Wireless Gecko System-on-Chip. The highlights of the board include four different environmental sensorsaccessible to the EFR32BG22 wireless MCU. The peripherals can be turned on and off by the application code as needed.Programming the Thunderboard EFR32BG22 is easily done using a USB Micro-B cable and the on-board J-Link debugger. A USB vir-tual COM port provides a serial connection to the target application, and the Packet Trace Interface (PTI) offers invaluable debug infor-mation about transmitted and received packets in wireless links. Included on the board is an 8 Mbit serial flash that can be used forOver-The-Air (OTA) firmware upgrade, or as a general purpose non-volatile memory. The Thunderboard EFR32BG22 is supported inSimplicity Studio™, and a Board Support Package (BSP) is provided to give application developers a flying start.Energy profiling and advanced wireless network analysis and debugging tools are available through the provided Mini Simplicity Con-nector using an external Silicon Labs debugger.Connecting external hardware to the Thunderboard EFR32BG22 can be done using the 20 breakout pads which present peripheralsfrom the EFR32BG22 Wireless Gecko such as I2C, SPI, UART and GPIOs. The breakout pads follow the same pinout as the expansionheaders (EXP) on other Silicon Labs Starter Kits.
