2020-11-26

This application note introduces the software examples, libraries,documentation, and software tools available for EFM32, EZR32,and EFM32 Gemstones.
In addition to providing a basic introduction to the tools available for these devices, this document includes several basic firmware exercises to familiarize the reader with the Starter Kit and Development Kit hardware, the emlib firmware library, and the Simplicity Studio software tools.
Note that this document focuses on the MCU portion of the devices. For wireless products (EZR32), see the additional wireless getting started information available in the user guide specifically for the product. More information on the hardware for any product can be found in the kit user guide. More information about Simplicity Studio in general can be found in AN0822: "Simplicity Studio™ User Guide". Application notes can be found on the Silicon Labs website (www.silabs.com/32bit-appnotes) or using the[Application Notes] tile in Simplicity Studio.
KEY POINTS:
• Simplicity Studio contains everything needed to develop with EFM32, EZR32,and EFM32 Gemstones.
• Things you will learn:
○ Basic register operation
○ Using emlib functions
○ Blinking LEDs and reading buttons
○ LCD controller
○ Energy Modes
○ Real-Time Counter operation
The examples in this application note require access to a supported Silicon Labs device. Supported devices include the EFM32,EZR32, and EFM32 Gemstones kit (either Starter or Development). Before working on this tutorial, ensure a compatible IDE is available by either:
• installing Simplicity Studio from Silabs.com , or
• if IAR is preferred, install the latest Segger J-Link drivers to support the kit
In Simplicity Studio, ensure that all the available packages are installed and up to date by clicking on the [Update Software] button at the top-right of the main window:
Note: While Simplicity Studio includes a fully-functional integrated IDE, it also supports some third party IDEs, including IAR. For this reason, it is recommended to install Simplicity Studio regardless of the preferred IDE for easy access to these examples as well as the full suite of features provided to facilitate development of EFM32, EZR32, and EFM32 Gemstones solutions.
