【Silicon Labs BG22-EK4108A Bluetooth Development Review】I. Hardware Appreciation and Development Environment Introduction [Copy link]

 

Thanks again to EEWorld, as well as Silicon Labs & Arrow, for providing the Bluetooth development board.

This is the second time I have reviewed a Silicon Labs board, and I feel that the craftsmanship is still very fine.

The back panel has many test points. The chips used on the development board are all packaged in very small sizes, as are the resistors and capacitors.

The kit has a USB interface, an on-board SEGGER J-Link debugger, a user LED and push buttons.

The suggested retail price on the official website is $9.99.

The introduction to the development board in the user guide shows the names of the various components.

The link address of the specific user guide is https://www.silabs.com/documents/public/user-guides/ug509-bg22-ek4108a.pdf

The structural diagram indicated in the guide is as follows

The development platform of the Bluetooth kit is still Simplicity Studio V5. For the specific development environment installation, please refer to the previous review article.

After powering on, you can see the blue LED on the side of J-Link lights up

Then, the driver will be automatically loaded (perhaps it was installed during the previous evaluation)

If you watch carefully for a while, you will find that the LED flickers.

This is a brief introduction to the hardware part. The case evaluation in the Simplicity Studio environment will be introduced later.

Thanks again to EEWorld!
