Silicon Labs Connect Fundamentals#

NOTE: This section replaces UG103.12: Silicon Labs Connect Fundamentals. Further updates to this user guide will be provided here.

This guide describes the features and functions of Silicon Labs Connect, including its device types, modes of operation, stack structure, and the IEEE 802.15.4 support for RAIL vs. Connect.

Silicon Labs’ Fundamentals series covers topics that project managers, application designers, and developers should understand before beginning to work on an embedded networking solution using Silicon Labs chips, networking stacks such as EmberZNet PRO or Silicon Labs Bluetooth, and associated development tools. These guides can be used as a starting place for anyone needing an introduction to developing wireless networking applications, or who is new to the Silicon Labs development environment. The Connect User’s Guide provides in-depth information for developers who are using the Silicon Labs Connect Stack for their application development. Two series are published, one for Connect SDK v2.x and one for Connect SDK v3.x.

Proprietary is supported on all EFR32FG devices. For others, check the device's data sheet under Ordering Information > Protocol Stack to see if Proprietary is supported. In Proprietary SDK version 2.7.n, Connect is not supported on EFR32xG22.
