## Overview
|
|
Silicon Labs Thunderboard GG12 is equipped with the EFM32 microcontroller.
|
|
It is specifically designed for low-power applications, having energy-saving
|
|
peripherals, different energy modes and short wake-up times.
|
|
|
|
The starter kit is equipped with an Advanced Energy Monitor. This allows you to
|
|
actively measure the power consumption of your hardware and code, in real-time.

## Board configuration
|
|
|
|
### Board controller
|
|
The starter kit is equipped with a Board Controller. This controller provides
|
|
a virtual serial port.
|
|
|
|
**Note:** the board controller *always* configures the virtual serial port at
|
|
115200 baud with 8 bits, no parity and one stop bit. This also means that it
|
|
expects data from the MCU with the same settings.
|
|
|
|
### Clock selection
|
|
There are several clock sources that are available for the different
|
|
peripherals. You are advised to read [AN0004.0](https://www.silabs.com/documents/public/application-notes/an0004.0-efm32-cmu.pdf)
|
|
to get familiar with the different clocks.
|
|
|
|
| Source | Internal | Speed | Comments |
|
|
|--------|----------|------------|------------------------------------|
|
|
| HFRCO | Yes | 19 MHz | Enabled during startup, changeable |
|
|
| HFXO | No | 50 MHz | |
|
|
| LFRCO | Yes | 32.768 kHz | |
|
|
| LFXO | No | 32.768 kHz | |
|
|
| ULFRCO | No | 1 kHz | Not very reliable as a time source |
|
|
|
|
The sources can be used to clock following branches:
|
|
|
|
| Branch | Sources | Comments |
|
|
|--------|-------------------------|------------------------------|
|
|
| HF | HFRCO, HFXO | Core, peripherals |
|
|
| LFA | LFRCO, LFXO | Low-power timers |
|
|
| LFB | LFRCO, LFXO, CORELEDIV2 | Low-power UART |
|
|
| LFE | LFRCO, LFXO | Real-time Clock and Calendar |
|
|
|
|
CORELEDIV2 is a source that depends on the clock source that powers the core.
|
|
It is divided by 2 or 4 to not exceed maximum clock frequencies (EMLIB takes
|
|
care of this).
|
|
|
|
The frequencies mentioned in the tables above are specific for this starter
|
|
kit.
|
|
|
|
It is important that the clock speeds are known to the code, for proper
|
|
calculations of speeds and baud rates. If the HFXO or LFXO are different from
|
|
the speeds above, ensure to pass `EFM32_HFXO_FREQ=freq_in_hz` and
|
|
`EFM32_LFXO_FREQ=freq_in_hz` to your compiler.
|
|
|
|
You can override the branch's clock source by adding `CLOCK_LFA=source` to your
|
|
compiler defines, e.g. `CLOCK_LFA=cmuSelect_LFRCO`.
|
|
|
|
### Low-power peripherals
|
|
The low-power UART is capable of providing an UART peripheral using a low-speed
|
|
clock. When the LFB clock source is the LFRCO or LFXO, it can still be used in
|
|
EM2. However, this limits the baud rate to 9600 baud. If a higher baud rate is
|
|
desired, set the clock source to CORELEDIV2.
|
|
|
|
**Note:** peripheral mappings in your board definitions will not be affected by
|
|
this setting. Ensure you do not refer to any low-power peripherals.
|
|
|
|
### RTC or RTT
|
|
RIOT-OS has support for *Real-Time Tickers* and *Real-Time Clocks*.
|
|
|
|
However, this board MCU family has support for a 32-bit *Real-Time Clock and
|
|
Calendar*, which can be configured in ticker mode **or** calendar mode.
|
|
Therefore, only one of both peripherals can be enabled at the same time.
|
|
|
|
Configured at 1 Hz interval, the RTCC will overflow each 136 years.
|
|
|
|
### Hardware crypto
|
|
This MCU is equipped with a hardware-accelerated crypto peripheral that can
|
|
speed up AES128, AES256, SHA1, SHA256 and several other cryptographic
|
|
computations.
|
|
|
|
A peripheral driver interface is proposed, but not yet implemented.
|
|
|
|
### Usage of EMLIB
|
|
This port makes uses of EMLIB by Silicon Labs to abstract peripheral registers.
|
|
While some overhead is to be expected, it ensures proper setup of devices,
|
|
provides chip errata and simplifies development. The exact overhead depends on
|
|
the application and peripheral usage, but the largest overhead is expected
|
|
during peripheral setup. A lot of read/write/get/set methods are implemented as
|
|
inline methods or macros (which have no overhead).
|
|
|
|
Another advantage of EMLIB are the included assertions. These assertions ensure
|
|
that peripherals are used properly. To enable this, pass `DEBUG_EFM` to your
|
|
compiler.
|
|
|
|
### Pin locations
|
|
The EFM32 platform supports peripherals to be mapped to different pins
|
|
(predefined locations). The definitions in `periph_conf.h` mostly consist of a
|
|
location number and the actual pins. The actual pins are required to configure
|
|
the pins via GPIO driver, while the location is used to map the peripheral to
|
|
these pins.
|
|
|
|
In other words, these definitions must match. Refer to the data sheet for more
|
|
information.
|
|
|
|
This MCU has extended pin mapping support. Each pin of a peripheral can be
|
|
connected separately to one of the predefined pins for that peripheral.
|
|
|
|
## Flashing the device
|
|
To flash, [SEGGER JLink](https://www.segger.com/jlink-software.html) is
|
|
required.
|
|
|
|
Flashing is supported by RIOT-OS using the command below:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
make flash
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To run the GDB debugger, use the command:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
make debug
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or, to connect with your own debugger:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
make debug-server
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Some boards have (limited) support for emulation, which can be started with:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
make emulate
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Supported Toolchains
|
|
For using the Silicon Labs SLTB009A starter kit we strongly recommend
|
|
the usage of the [GNU Tools for ARM Embedded Processors](https://developer.arm.com/open-source/gnu-toolchain/gnu-rm)
|
|
toolchain.
