UG179: EFR32MG1 2400/915 MHz 19.5 dBm Radio Board User's Guide

PublishTime：2022-02-28

●A Wireless Starter Kit with the BRD4150B Radio Board is an ex-cellent starting point to get familiar with the EFR32™ Mighty Gecko Wireless System-on-Chip, and it provides all necessary tools for developing a Silicon Labs wireless application.
●BRD4150B is a plug-in board for the Wireless Starter Kit Mainboard. It is a complete ref-erence design for the EFR32MG1 Wireless SoC, with matching networks for 19.5 dBm output power, a 2.4 GHz PCB antenna, and an SMA connector for the 915 MHz band.
●The Wireless Starter Kit Mainboard contains an on-board J-Link debugger with a Packet Trace Interface and a Virtual COM port, enabling application development and debug-ging the attached radio board as well as external hardware. The Mainboard also con-tains sensors and peripherals for easy demonstration of some of the EFR32's many ca-pabilities.
●This document describes how to use the BRD4150B Radio Board together with a Wire-less Starter Kit Mainboard.

●Introduction
■The EFR32MG1 Mighty Gecko Wireless SoC itself is featured on a Radio Board that forms a complete reference design, including the RF section and other components.
■The Radio Board plugs directly into a wireless Starter kt Mainboard. The Mainboard features several tools for easy evaluation and development of wireless applications. An on-board J-Link debugger enables programming and debugging on the target device over USB or Ethernet. The Advanced Energy Monitor (AEM) offers real-time current and voltage monitoring. A virtual COM port interface(COM) provides an easy-to-use serial port connection over USB or Ethernet. 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 attacdhed radio board.
■To further enhance its usability, the Mainboard contains sensors and peripherals demonstrating some of the many capabilities of the EFR32MG1.
