Overview and Resources#

Simplicity Studio® 5 (SSv5) offers a number of tools that can be used to test and debug application functionality, power consumption, and network behavior.

Tools include:

• The built-in debugger

• Network Analyzer

• Energy Profiler

In addition, a number of SDKs provide example applications that can be used for testing, such as:

• NodeTest (Zigbee EmberZNet SDK) (See AN1019: Using the NodeTest Application)

• RAILtest (Proprietary Flex SDK) (see UG409: RAILtest User's Guide)

Finally, Silicon Labs provides a number of other documentation resources related to testing such as:

• AN1267: Radio Frequency Physical Layer Evaluation in Bluetooth® SDK v3.x

• AN1142: Mesh Network Performance Comparison

• AN718: Manufacturing Test Overview

• UG104: Testing and Debugging Applications for the Silicon Labs EM35x and EFR32MG Platforms (Zigbee)
