Using the Gecko Bootloader with Silicon Labs Connect#

NOTE: This section replaces AN1085: Using the Gecko Bootloader with Silicon Labs Connect. Further updates to this application note will be provided here.

This application note includes detailed information on using the Silicon Labs Gecko Bootloader with the Silicon Labs Connect stack, part of the Silicon Labs Flex SDK (Software Development Kit). It supplements the general Gecko Bootloader implementation information provided in UG266: Silicon Labs Gecko Bootloader User’s Guide. If you are not familiar with the basic principles of performing a firmware upgrade or want more information about upgrade image files, refer to UG103.6: Bootloading Fundamentals.

The Connect User’s Guide is a series of documents that provides in-depth information for developers who are using the Silicon Labs Connect Stack for their application development. Refer to UG435.06: Bootloading and OTA with Silicon Labs Connect to learn about the bootloader options (standalone, application, and Over the Air (OTA)) available for use within Connect-based applications.

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
