Starter Kit Energy Micro EFM32LG-STK3600
The EFM32LG-STK3600 is an excellent starting point to get familiar with the EFM32 Giant Gecko microcontrollers.
Detailed Description
The kit contains sensors and peripherals demonstrating some of the MCU's many capabilities. The kit can also serve as a starting point for application development.
Board Controller
The kit contains a board controller that is responsible for performing various board level tasks, such as handling the debugger and the Advanced Energy Monitor. An interface is provided between the EFM32 and the board controller in the form of a UART connection.
Specific library functions has been provided in the kit Board Support Package that supports various requests to be made to the board controller, such as quering AEM voltage or current. To use these functions, the Board Support Package must be installed.
