PublishTime： 2022-06-22 Article Source：Silicon Labs

Simplicity Commander is a utility that provides GUI and command-line access to the debug features of an EFM32

32-BIT MCU. It allows you to flash firmware, update the kit firmware, lock, or unlock debug access. This tool is intended to replace eACommander.

Standalone Installation

As of 7/2017, Simplicity Commander is now available as a standalone utility (in addition to the Simplicity Studio-based install/launch options listed below).

See the included README.txt for additional guidance and dependencies (Commander currently requires the SEGGER J-Link software pack to be installed).

Simplicity Studio v3

In SSv3, if wireless support is installed, Simplicity Commander will be available from the "File->Simplicity Commander" menu in the IDE. It will also be installed in C:\SiliconLabs\SimplicityStudio\v3_3\bgtool\commander (depending on your Studio install path). It will also be available, along with a reference guide at C:\SiliconLabs\SimplicityStudio\v3_3\SimplicityCommander

Simplicity Studio v4

In SSv4 the commander binary can be run by going to Preferences->Simplicity Studio->Adapter Packs, selecting Simplicity Commander->commander: commander.exe, and clicking on "Bare run". See picture. The binary can also be run directly from C:\SiliconLabs\SimplicityStudio\v4\developer\adapter_packs\commander\commander.exe
