Overview
EFR Connect Demo and Develop
The app is divided into two main functional areas, the Demo and the Develop view.
The Demo view lists a number of demos that are meant for quickly testing some of the sample apps in the Silicon Labs Bluetooth SDK. The currently supported demos are:
- Health Thermometer demo: Connects to an EFR32/BGM device running the soc-thermometer sample application from the Bluetooth SDK and displays the temperature read from the Si7021 sensor on the WSTK mainboard.
Develop View
The Develop view contains functionalities focused on helping developers create and troubleshoot their Bluetooth applications based on EFR32/BGM devices. The currently supported functionalities are:
- Bluetooth Browser: This is a generic and powerful tool that allows you to explore the BLE devices around you
- Bluetooth Advertiser: Allows you to create multiple advertisement sets and enable them in parallel
