Supported Features

.. zephyr:board-supported-hw::

Connections and IOs

The EFR32BG22 SoC has four gpio controllers (PORTA, PORTB, PORTC and PORTD).

There are two variants of this board, "A" and "B". Please take a look at your PCB, to determine which one you have, as the GPIO pin bindings vary between those two.

BRD4184A (SLTB010A revision A00 and A01):

+------+-------------+-----------------------------------+ | Pin | Function | Usage | +======+=============+===================================+ | PB0 | GPIO | LED0 (YELLOW) | +------+-------------+-----------------------------------+ | PB1 | GPIO | SW0 Push Button PB0 | +------+-------------+-----------------------------------+ | PA5 | UART_TX | UART TX Console VCOM_TX US1_TX #1 | +------+-------------+-----------------------------------+ | PA6 | UART_RX | UART RX Console VCOM_RX US1_RX #1 | +------+-------------+-----------------------------------+

BRD4184B (SLTB010A revision A02 and newer):

System Clock

The EFR32BG22 SoC is configured to use the 38.4 MHz external oscillator on the board.

Programming and Debugging

.. zephyr:board-supported-runners::

Flashing an application

Connect your device to your host computer using the USB port. The sample application :zephyr:code-sample:hello_world is used for this example. Build the Zephyr kernel and application, then flash it to the device:

BRD4184A:

.. zephyr-app-commands:: :zephyr-app: samples/hello_world :board: sltb010a@0 :goals: flash

BRD4184B:

.. zephyr-app-commands:: :zephyr-app: samples/hello_world :board: sltb010a@2 :goals: flash

.. note:: west flash requires SEGGER J-Link software_ to be installed on you host computer.

Open a serial terminal (minicom, putty, etc.) with the following settings:

Speed: 115200
Data: 8 bits
Parity: None
Stop bits: 1

Reset the board and you should be able to see on the corresponding Serial Port the following message:

.. code-block:: console

Hello World! sltb010a

Bluetooth

To use the BLE function, run the command below to retrieve necessary binary blobs from the SiLabs HAL repository.

.. code-block:: console

west blobs fetch hal_silabs

Then build the Zephyr kernel and a Bluetooth sample with the following command. The :zephyr:code-sample:bluetooth_observer sample application is used in this example.

BRD4184A:

.. zephyr-app-commands:: :zephyr-app: samples/bluetooth/observer :board: sltb010a@0 :goals: build

BRD4184B:

.. zephyr-app-commands:: :zephyr-app: samples/bluetooth/observer :board: sltb010a@2 :goals: build
