Silicon Laboratory Inc. SLWRB4170A | Demoboard BRD4170A

Description

Silicon Labs SLWRB4170A 2.4GHz & 868-915Mhz +19dBm Radio Board is designed to provide a platform to develop and/or evaluate the EFR32MG12 Mighty Gecko Wireless System-on-Chips. This radio board is directly connected to the wireless starter kit mainboard and also has the EFR32MG12 mighty gecko wireless SoC itself. The wireless starter kit with BRD4170A radio board provides all the necessary tools to develop wireless applications. The mainboard features an onboard J-Link debugger, Advanced Energy Monitor (AEM), Virtual COM (VCOM) port, and Packet Trace Interface (PTI). The AEM monitors current and voltage in real-time and the VCOM provides an easy-to-use serial port connection over USB or Ethernet. The PTI provides debug information about packets that are transmitted and received over wireless links. The SLWRB4170A radio board has a 1.28 inch LCD-TFT display with 128 pixels x 128 pixels resolution which is used to develop interactive applications.
