Customers designing with the Si102x/3x should start with either the Si1020-915-A-DK (this page) or Si1024-868-A-DK, based on 915 MHz or 868 MHz desired RF frequency.
The Si1020 Wireless Development Kit includes:
- (2) UDP Motherboard
- (2) UDP F960 MCU card with multiplexed LCD
- (2) UDP Si102x daughter card (Si102x RF 915 +20 dBm T/R Switch Pico Card)
- (2) SPI Graphic LCD I/O board
- (2) RF antenna
- (2) Lithium battery (Tadiran TL-2150/S)
- USB debug adapter

The Si102x/3x families include wireless development kits that enable WDS support. The Wireless Development Suite (WDS) allows automatic detection of boards and downloads appropriate firmware on the part. It gives RF engineers a platform for rapid evaluation and development of low-cost wireless applications.
These development kits provide support for Silicon Labs’:
- Integrated Development Environment (IDE)
- Keil 8051 Development Tools
- Configuration Wizard 2
- Keil uVision Drivers
The boards also include several code examples to exercise different hardware features of the Si102x/3x family (e.g., AES block, dc-dc converter, LCD driver, etc.). The examples are reusable code modules that can be initialized with custom parameters in the user development code.
It is recommended to use LCD boards for debug purpose during development even if the final design does not require integrated LCD. The UPPI-series evaluation cards are the engine of an MCU-based system – they contain an MCU, optional radio and minimal support circuitry.
