UG432: BGM220P Wireless Gecko Module Starter Kit User's Guide

2020-10-16
A Wireless Starter Kit with the BRD4311A Radio Board is an excellent starting point to get familiar with the BGM220P Wireless Gecko PCB Module. It also provides the necessary tools for developing a Silicon Labs wireless application.
BRD4311A contains the BGM220P Module, and it is a plug-in board for the WirelessStarter Kit Mainboard.
The Wireless Starter Kit Mainboard contains an on-board J-Link debugger with a PacketTrace Interface and a virtual COM port, enabling application development and debuggingthe attached radio board as well as external hardware. The mainboard also containssensors and peripherals for easy demonstration of some of the BGM220P's many capabilities.
This document describes how to use the BRD4311A Radio Board together with a Wireless Starter Kit Mainboard.
The BGM220P Wireless Gecko Module is featured on a radio board that plugs directly into a Wireless Starter Kit (WSTK) Mainboard.The mainboard features several tools for easy evaluation and development of wireless applications. An on-board J-Link debugger ena-bles programming and debugging on the target device over USB or Ethernet. The Advanced Energy Monitor (AEM) offers real-timecurrent and voltage monitoring. A virtual COM port interface (VCOM) provides an easy-to-use serial port connection over USB or Ether-net. 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 radioboard.
To further enhance its usability, the mainboard contains sensors and peripherals that demonstrates some of the many capabilities ofthe BGM220P. A 20-pin expansion header (EXP header) is also provided that allows connection of expansion boards (EXP boards) tothe kit.
