Silicon Labs SiXG301 Explorer Kit
Silicon Labs SiXG301 Explorer Kit (SixG301-EK2719A) is an ultra-low-cost, small form factor development and evaluation platform for the SixG301 Wireless System-on-Chip (SoC). The Silicon Labs Explorer Kit is focused on rapid prototyping and concept creation of Internet of Things (IoT) applications. The kit is designed around the SixG301 SoC, which is an ideal device family for developing energy-friendly connected IoT applications.
The kit features a USB interface, an onboard SEGGER J-Link debugger, one user-LED and button, and support for hardware add-on boards via a mikroBus socket and a Qwiic connector. The hardware add-on support allows developers to create and prototype applications using a virtually endless combination of off-the-shelf boards from MIKROE, SparkFun, Adafruit, and Seeed Studio.
