Simplicity Studio 6 Overview#

Simplicity Studio is the core development environment designed to support the Silicon Labs Internet of Things (IoT) portfolio of system-on-chips (SoCs) and modules. Whether you are building smart home devices, industrial sensors, or connected health solutions, Simplicity Studio 6 brings together everything you need in one place: integrated software tools, protocol stacks, SDKs, documentation, and example projects. Designed specifically for IoT product development, Simplicity Studio 6 supports leading wireless technologies, including Bluetooth LE, Matter, Thread, Wi-Fi, Zigbee, and more, all optimized for Silicon Labs devices.

Key Features#

• Explore, install, and manage wireless protocol SDKs with one-click access to examples and documentation.

• Generate projects for popular development environments, including CMake, Makefile, and VS Code, giving you full control your preferred build and debug workflows.

• Configure hardware system, peripherals, and wireless stacks with visual tools.

• Automatically detect and configure connected Silicon Labs development kits, SoCs, and modules.

• Access to analysis tools like Network Analyzer and Energy Profiler for real-time performance insights.

• Available on Windows, macOS, and Linux operating systems.

Simplicity Studio is designed to simplify developer workflow. It intelligently recognizes all evaluation and development kit parts released by Silicon Labs and, based on the selected development target, presents appropriate software development kits (SDKs) and other development resources.

Simplicity Studio focuses on the developer experience, leveraging feedback from customers, employees, and competitive reviews. Developers of all experience levels will benefit from an optimized workflow that supports them through the development journey and produces quicker project progression and device configuration.
