Silicon Labs enhances MCU and wireless design software
9 November 2016
Design Automation
Silicon Labs released a major update of its award-winning Simplicity Studio software development tools. The new release represents a significant redesign of the software infrastructure, making the tools faster to download and easier to install and use. A more intuitive user interface improves the overall developer experience.
Downloadable from www.silabs.com/simplicity-studio, the software broadly supports 8- and 32-bit microcontrollers (MCUs), multiprotocol and multiband wireless SoCs, and fixed-function devices. Simplicity Studio simplifies the IoT development process with one-click access to everything developers need to complete their projects using an integrated development environment (IDE) based on Eclipse 4.5.
Simplicity Studio includes a powerful suite of tools for energy profiling, configuration and wireless network analysis, as well as demos, software examples, complete documentation, technical support and community forums. The primary goal of the update was to make it more flexible, efficient and easier to use. The underlying software infrastructure now provides custom-tailored installation options, enabling developers to download specific tools for the Silicon Labs product portfolio they are using.
Silicon Labs has enhanced Simplicity Studio to provide more intuitive content and document navigation. Developers can now engage Simplicity Studio from a device or solution perspective. A developer can click on a pre-defined solution, such as a wearable device, and Simplicity Studio will automatically set its context to the key components comprising the solution, such as an EFM32 MCU, a Bluetooth module and an optical sensor.
The latest version of Simplicity Studio now supports the following Silicon Labs IoT products: multiprotocol and multiband Wireless Gecko SoCs, Bluetooth modules, EFM32 Gecko MCU family, EFM8 MCU family and other 8-bit MCUs, Xpress fixed-function devices, EZR32 sub-GHz wireless MCUs and EM35xx mesh networking SoCs.
