Silicon Labs BGM220 Explorer Kit

Silicon Labs BGM220 Explorer Kit is designed for IoT devices using the BGM220P Wireless Gecko BLUETOOTH^® Module. The BGM220P Module is based on the EFR32BG22 System-on-Chip, ideal for developing energy-friendly connected IoT applications.

The Silicon Labs BGM220 Explorer Kit includes a mikroBUS™ socket and Qwiic^® connector, allowing users to add features to the Kit with a large selection of off-the-shelf boards from MikroE, Sparkfun, AdaFruit, and Seeed Studios. Additionally, the Kit features a USB interface, an on-board SEGGER J-Link debugger, one user-LED, and a button.

Connecting external hardware to the BGM220 Explorer Kit can be achieved using the 20 breakout pads which present peripherals from the BGM220P Wireless Gecko such as I²C, SPI, UART, and GPIOs. The mikroBUS socket allows inserting mikroBUS add-on boards that interface with the BGM220P through SPI, UART, or I²C. The Qwiic connector can be used to connect hardware from the Qwiic Connect System through I²C.
