Overview#

Silicon Labs Tool (SLT) is a command-line utility that installs and manages the full Silicon Labs development environment: SDKs, build tools, and the SLC configurator. Designed for GUI-free workflows, SLT enables developers to set up consistent, scriptable environments ideal for both individual use and team-wide automation. Once installed, projects can be created, configured, and built entirely from the terminal using SLC, enabling seamless integration into CI/CD pipelines and cross-platform development without relying on Simplicity Studio’s graphical interface.
