UG435.02: Using Silicon Labs Connectv 3.x with IEEE 802.15.4

2020-10-16
This chapter of the Connect v3.x User’s Guide describes how to use the Silicon Labs Connect stack v3.x with IEEE 802.15.4. The Connect v3.x User’s Guide assumes that you have already installed the Simplicity Studio development environment and the FlexSDK, and that you are familiar with the basics of configuring,compiling, and flashing Connect-based applications. Refer to UG435.01: About the Connect v3.x User's Guide for an overview of the chapters in the Connect v3.x User’s Guide.
The Connect v3.x User’s Guide is a series of documents that provides in-depth information for developers who are using the Silicon Labs Connect Stack for their application development. If you are new to Connect and the Proprietary Flex SDK, see QSG168:Proprietary Flex SDK v3.x Quick Start Guide.
Proprietary is supported on all EFR32FG devices. For others, check the device's data sheet under Ordering Information > Protocol Stack to see if Proprietary is supported. In Proprietary SDK version 2.7.n, Connect is not supported on EFR32xG22.
Silicon Labs Connect is based on the IEEE 802.15.4-2011 standard (abbreviated to IEEE 802.15.4). Therefore, to understand the Silicon Labs Connect stack, you also need a basic knowledge of 802.15.4 which defines various Physical and Media Access Control layers that are designed for low-data rate, low-power, and low-complexity, short-range communications in Personal Area Networks. IEEE 802.15.4 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 MAC layer without having to read the IEEE 802.15.4 specification.
KEY POINTS:
• Introduction to common terms used in IEEE 802.15.4
• IEEE 802.15.4 frame formats
• IEEE 802.15.4 security
• Common processes in IEEE 802.15.4
