 When it comes to bringing your idea to a working prototype, nothing beats Energy Micro's Giant Gecko STK. Here you get a complete lab on its own. The simplicity toolchain speeds up planning, coding and profiling phases, and when connected to your computer, the built-in energy monitoring and profiler system shows you code specific current consumption, in real-time and without the need to connect oscilloscopes or multimeters. Check out the videos on planning, coding, and profiling, found here: Step 1 - "energyAware™ Battery Estimator". Step 2 - "energyAware™ Designer for EFM32 microcontrollers HD". Step 3 - "energyAware™ Profiler for EFM32 microcontrollers enables energy efficient Cortex-M3 code". The new EFM32 Giant Gecko STKs are also equipped with light, metal, and touch sensors. These enable designers to investigate the Gecko´s unique LESENSE Low Energy Sensor interface, which allows passive acquisition of data from 16 sensors without host CPU intervention. The hardware feature set is completed with a USB plug, 32 MB on-board NAND Flash, LCD, and a variety of LEDs and push buttons. The EFM32-GGSTK3700 is based on the EFM32GG990F1024 microcontroller. With ARM Cortex-M3 CPU, this is the industry’s only energy-friendly MCU with 1 MB on-chip Flash and 128 KB RAM memory. The generous range of memory options gives designers the opportunity to implement complex embedded designs while maintaining best-in-class energy efficiency. EFM32 Giant Gecko MCUs can directly control a TFT display and feature a USB driver that supports the Host, Device, and On-the-Go (OTG) protocols. |
