Unboxing the EFM32 Gecko Development Kit from Energy Micro

This is a short introduction to the EFM32 Gecko Development Kit. The development kit is a platform for rapid prototyping of ultra low power microcontroller applications and contains a unique Advanced Energy Monitoring (AEM) system that allows designers to have full control over their applications energy consumption. The kit includes integrated emulator for software development and debugging, and a software library supported by major tool chains such as IAR®, KEIL™ and GNU GCC. * Advanced Energy Monitoring system * On-board USB based programming and debugging * User interface with 320*240 RGB LCD display and LEDs * Highly modular design with plug-in MCU boards * Large I/O capability * 3-axis acceleration sensor and light sensor * Board Support Package and Device Support Library * Development support for major tool chains * 32 KB compiler evaluation versions - KEIL™ MDK-ARM Microcontroller Development Kit - IAR Embedded Workbench® The free energyAware Profiler can be downloaded here: http://www.energymicro.com/downloads/software EFM32 Gecko microcontrollers are the world's most energy friendly microcontrollers, and are based on the ultra low-power 32-bit ARM Cortex™-M3 micros from Energy Micro.
