EZRadioPRO-DK EZRADIOPRO DEVELOPMENT KITS USERS GUIDE 1. Kits Overview This user s guide describes the development kits of the EZRadioPRO wireless development kit family. Each kit contains two RF nodes based on the Wireless Motherboard to support evaluation and development of sub-GHz RF links with the different EZRadioPRO devices. Table 1 lists the RF pico boards of the kits that use the latest C2A revision of the EZRadioPRO ICs. Table 2 lists the RF pico boards of the obsolete kits that use the previous B1B revision of the EZRadioPRO ICs. Table 3 lists the content that is common to all kits. Table 1.

Software Setup There are two software tools provided by Silicon Labs to aid in EZRadioPRO software development, the Wireless Development Suite (WDS) and the Silicon Labs Integrated Development Environment (IDE). The recommended starting point for EZRadioPRO development is the WDS software tool. This tool is able to identify the connected boards by reading their identification memories (EBID) and provides valuable help by greatly simplifying radio configuration, evaluation, and application development. 2.1. Hardware and Software Requirements for WDS The following hardware and software is required to run the WDS: Windows XP or later Microsoft .NET framework 3.5 or later Silicon Labs CP210x VCP driver WDS v3.2.7.0 or later The lack of the .NET framework and VCP driver are recognized during the WDS installation. The install wizard will install the missing components after prompting the user for consent. 2.2. Download WDS WDS can be obtained from the Silicon Labs web site free of charge at
