Product details
Overview
SLWSTK6060B from Silicon Labs is a complete wireless development platform comprising two BRD4001A Wireless Starter Kit Mainboards and two BRD4257A EFR32FG14 2400/915 MHz dual-band radio boards, delivering 19 dBm RF output power, integrated 2.4 GHz PCB antenna and SMA connector for 915 MHz, and on-board J-Link debugger with Packet Trace Interface (PTI) and Advanced Energy Monitor (AEM) - enabling rapid prototyping of Sub-GHz and 2.4 GHz IoT applications.
For engineers reviewing the SLWSTK6060B datasheet, SLWSTK6060B pinout, SLWSTK6060B application, or SLWSTK6060B equivalent, this kit provides validated hardware reference design, real-time energy profiling, packet-level radio analysis, and seamless Simplicity Studio integration for EFR32FG14-based mesh, BLE, and proprietary protocol development.
Technical Context
The SLWSTK6060B integrates BRD4257A radio boards featuring the EFR32FG14P233F256GM48 SoC - a 2.4 GHz / 915 MHz dual-band transceiver with 256 kB Flash, 32 kB RAM, and integrated 8 Mbit serial flash for OTA upgrades. It supports concurrent Sub-GHz and 2.4 GHz operation with matching networks optimized for 19 dBm output in both bands.
The mainboard delivers full debug and measurement infrastructure: SEGGER J-Link with USB/Ethernet connectivity, Virtual COM Port (VCOM), PTI for real-time packet trace, and AEM for sub-microamp current profiling. All interfaces - including EXP header, breakout pads, Simplicity Connector, and Debug Adapter - are routed to the EFR32's GPIOs with documented peripheral mapping and shared-function awareness.

FAQ
What is included in the SLWSTK6060B kit?
The SLWSTK6060B kit contains two BRD4001A Wireless Starter Kit Mainboards, two BRD4257A EFR32FG14 2400/915 MHz radio boards, two 915 MHz dipole antennas (Linx ANT-916-CW-HWR-SMA), two USB Type A to Mini-B cables, and one BRD8010A Debug Adapter. This full complement enables parallel development and comparative RF testing across dual-band configurations.
Does SLWSTK6060B support both 2.4 GHz and Sub-GHz operation simultaneously?
Yes, SLWSTK6060B supports concurrent 2.4 GHz and 915 MHz operation via its BRD4257A radio boards, each integrating the EFR32FG14P233F256GM48 SoC with dual-band RF front-end, matching networks, and separate antennas - one 2.4 GHz inverted-F PCB antenna and one 915 MHz SMA port - enabling coexistence analysis and multi-band protocol stacks.
Can SLWSTK6060B be used to debug external target hardware?
Yes, SLWSTK6060B supports external target debugging via multiple interfaces: the Simplicity Connector provides VCOM, PTI, and AEM-monitored VMCU; the Debug Connector operates in "Debug OUT" mode to act as a J-Link debugger; and the BRD8010A Debug Adapter offers Mini Simplicity, ARM 10-pin, and ISA3 Packet Trace outputs - all fully functional with SLWSTK6060B mainboards.
What software tools are compatible with SLWSTK6060B?
SLWSTK6060B is natively supported by Silicon Labs Simplicity Studio - including Energy Profiler for current optimization, Network Analyzer for packet inspection, and the SDK with example projects for Zigbee, Thread, Bluetooth LE, and proprietary protocols. Firmware updates, OTA image generation, and device configuration are all managed within Simplicity Studio for SLWSTK6060B.
How is power managed and measured on SLWSTK6060B?
SLWSTK6060B uses a three-position power switch (AEM/USB/BAT) to select the EFR32's power source. Only the AEM position enables high-precision current profiling via the Advanced Energy Monitor - inserting a low-noise LDO in series with the EFR32's VMCU rail. USB powers the board controller; BAT supports CR2032 coin cell operation; USB position is invalid for BRD4257A due to lack of on-board regulator.
