The EFM32 Gecko Development Kit is a platform for rapid prototyping of ultra low power microcontroller applications. It consists of a mother board, a replaceable MCU-board and a prototyping-board, along with a comprehensive software development environment.

The development kit contains a unique Advanced Energy Monitoring (AEM) system that allows designers to have full control over their application’s energy consumption. Combined with the possibility to isolate the motherboard’s components not relevant for the end application, designers can optimize all variables that will make their application as energy efficient as possible.

The on-board emulator enables extremely simple setup, and combined with the versatile peripherals (e.g. accelerometer, TFT-display, audio input/output, RS232, user LEDs / buttons), the development kit gives a complete basis for application design and prototyping.
