BGX220P Wireless Xpress Starter Kit

The Wireless Xpress BGX220P starter kit includes a Bluetooth Xpress BGX220P module, serial to USB bridge device, full pin access, and an expansion header to connect to all EFM8 and EFM32 Silicon Labs starter kits. The kit operates in a stand-alone mode when USB is attached, enabling Bluetooth connection and communication through the serial-to-USB bridge to BGX220’s Xpress command interface, and in an STK mode when an EFM8 or EFM32 STK is attached to the board’s expansion header. With Xpress Configurator, a configuration tool in Simplicity Studio, developers can test out configurable parameters in the BGX220, communicate using the terminal window and export configurations.
