The BGM220 Explorer Kit is an ultra-low cost, small form factor

development and evaluation platform for the BGM220P Wireless

Gecko Bluetooth® Module.

The BGM220 Explorer Kit is focused on rapid prototyping and concept creation of IoT

applications. It is designed around the BGM220P Module, based on the EFR32BG22

System-on-Chip, which is an ideal device family for developing energy-friendly connec-

ted IoT applications.

1. Introduction

The BGM220 Explorer Kit has been designed to inspire customers to make IoT devices with the Silicon Labs BGM220P Wireless

Gecko Bluetooth® Module. The kit includes a mikroBUS™ socket and Qwiic® connector, allowing users to add features to the kit with a

large selection of off-the-shelf boards.

Programming the BGM220 Explorer Kit is easily done using a USB Micro-B cable and the on-board J-Link debugger. A USB virtual

COM port provides a serial connection to the target application, and the Packet Trace Interface (PTI) offers invaluable debug informa-

tion about transmitted and received packets in wireless links. The BGM220 Explorer Kit is supported in Simplicity Studio™ and a Board

Support Package (BSP) is provided to give application developers a flying start.

Connecting external hardware to the BGM220 Explorer Kit can be done using the 20 breakout pads which present peripherals from the

BGM220P Wireless Gecko such as I2C, SPI, UART and GPIOs. The mikroBUS socket allows inserting mikroBUS add-on boards which

interface with the BGM220P through SPI, UART or I2C. The Qwiic connector can be used to connect hardware from the Qwiic Connect

System through I2C.

Supply Input Voltage (VMCU supplied externally) VVMCU +3.31V

Operating Temperature TOP - +20 - ˚C

1The typical supply voltage to the BGM220P is 3.0 V, but the maximum voltage is a function of temperature and average lifetime cur-

rent load. Over a 10-year lifespan, the average lifetime current load should not exceed 60 mA when the supply voltage is 3.3 V. See the

BGM220P data sheet for more information.

2.2 Current Consumption

The operating current of the board greatly depends on the application and the amount of external hardware connected. The table below

attempts to give some indication of typical current consumptions for the BGM220P and the on-board debugger. Note that the numbers

are taken from the data sheets for the devices. For a full overview of the conditions that apply for a specific number from a data sheet,

the reader is encouraged to read the specific data sheet.

Figure 3.2. BGM220 Explorer Kit Power Topology

The 5 volt power net on the USB bus is regulated down to 3.3 V using an LDO (low-dropout regulator). An automatic isolation circuit

isolates the LDO when the USB cable is not plugged in.

Power can be injected externally on the VMCU net if the USB cable is removed and no other power sources are present on the kit.

Failure to follow this guideline can cause power conflicts and damage the LDO.

3.3 BGM220P Reset

The BGM220P can be reset by a few different sources:

• A user pressing the RESET button.

• The on-board debugger pulling the #RESET pin low.

3.4 Push Button and LED

The kit has one user push button marked LED0 that is connected to a GPIO on the BGM220P. The button is connected to pin PC07

and it is debounced by an RC filter with a time constant of 1 ms. The logic state of the button is high while the button is not being

pressed, and low when the button is pressed.

The kit also features one yellow LED marked LED0 that is controlled by a GPIO pin on the BGM220P. The LED is connected to pin

PA04 in an active-high configuration.

3.5 On-board Debugger

The BGM220 Explorer Kit contains a microcontroller separate from the BGM220P Wireless Gecko that provides the user with an on-

board J-Link debugger through the USB Micro-B port. This microcontroller is referred to as the "on-board debugger", and is not pro-

grammable by the user. When the USB cable is removed, the on-board debugger goes into a very low power shutoff mode (EM4S),

consuming around 80 nA typically (EFM32GG12 data sheet number).

In addition to providing code download and debug features, the on-board debugger also presents a virtual COM port for general pur-

pose application serial data transfer. The Packet Trace Interface (PTI) is also supported which offers invaluable debug information

about transmitted and received packets in wireless links.

The figure below shows the connections between the target BGM220P device and the on-board debugger.

Refer to chapter 4. Debugging for more details on debugging.

3.6.1 Breakout Pads

Twenty breakout pads are provided and allow connection of external peripherals. There are 10 pads on the left side of the board, and

10 pads on the right. The breakout pads contain a number of I/O pins that can be used with most of the BGM220P Wireless Gecko's

features. Additionally, the VMCU (main board power rail), 3V3 (LDO regulator output), and 5V power rails are also exposed on the

pads.

The pin-routing on the Wireless Gecko is very flexible, so most peripherals can be routed to any pin. However, pins may be shared

between the breakout pads and other functions on the BGM220 Explorer Kit. The table below includes an overview of the breakout

pads and functionality that is shared with the kit.
