Configuration

Please use efm32wg_stk3800 ID for board option in “platformio.ini” (Project Configuration File):

[env:efm32wg_stk3800]
platform = siliconlabsefm32
board = efm32wg_stk3800

You can override default EFM32WG-STK3800 Wonder Gecko settings per build environment using board_*** option, where *** is a JSON object path from board manifest efm32wg_stk3800.json. For example, board_build.mcu, board_build.f_cpu, etc.

[env:efm32wg_stk3800]
platform = siliconlabsefm32
board = efm32wg_stk3800

; change microcontroller
board_build.mcu = efm32wg990f256

; change MCU frequency
board_build.f_cpu = 48000000L

Uploading

EFM32WG-STK3800 Wonder Gecko supports the following uploading protocols:

• blackmagic

• jlink

• mbed

Default protocol is mbed

You can change upload protocol using upload_protocol option:

[env:efm32wg_stk3800]
platform = siliconlabsefm32
board = efm32wg_stk3800

upload_protocol = mbed

Debugging

Debugging - “1-click” solution for debugging with a zero configuration.

Warning

You will need to install debug tool drivers depending on your system. Please click on compatible debug tool below for the further instructions and configuration information.

You can switch between debugging Tools & Debug Probes using debug_tool option in “platformio.ini” (Project Configuration File).

EFM32WG-STK3800 Wonder Gecko has on-board debug probe and IS READY for debugging. You don’t need to use/buy external debug probe.
