Introduction
1. Introduction
The BGM220 Explorer Kit has been designed to inspire customers to make IoT devices with the Silicon Labs BGM220P Wireless
Gecko Bluetooth® Module. The kit includes a mikroBUS™ socket and Qwiic® connector, allowing users to add features to the kit with a
large selection of off-the-shelf boards.
Programming the BGM220 Explorer Kit is easily done using a USB Micro-B cable and the on-board J-Link debugger. A USB virtual
COM port provides a serial connection to the target application, and the Packet Trace Interface (PTI) offers invaluable debug information about transmitted and received packets in wireless links. The BGM220 Explorer Kit is supported in Simplicity Studio™ and a Board
Support Package (BSP) is provided to give application developers a flying start.
Connecting external hardware to the BGM220 Explorer Kit can be done using the 20 breakout pads which present peripherals from the
BGM220P Wireless Gecko such as I2C, SPI, UART and GPIOs. The mikroBUS socket allows inserting mikroBUS add-on boards which
interface with the BGM220P through SPI, UART or I2C. The Qwiic connector can be used to connect hardware from the Qwiic Connect

1The typical supply voltage to the BGM220P is 3.0 V, but the maximum voltage is a function of temperature and average lifetime current load. Over a 10-year lifespan, the average lifetime current load should not exceed 60 mA when the supply voltage is 3.3 V. See the
BGM220P data sheet for more information.
2.2 Current Consumption
The operating current of the board greatly depends on the application and the amount of external hardware connected. The table below
attempts to give some indication of typical current consumptions for the BGM220P and the on-board debugger. Note that the numbers
are taken from the data sheets for the devices. For a full overview of the conditions that apply for a specific number from a data sheet,
the reader is encouraged to read the specific data sheet.

Figure 3.2. BGM220 Explorer Kit Power Topology
The 5 volt power net on the USB bus is regulated down to 3.3 V using an LDO (low-dropout regulator). An automatic isolation circuit
isolates the LDO when the USB cable is not plugged in.
Power can be injected externally on the VMCU net if the USB cable is removed and no other power sources are present on the kit.
Failure to follow this guideline can cause power conflicts and damage the LDO.
3.3 BGM220P Reset
The BGM220P can be reset by a few different sources:
• A user pressing the RESET button.
• The on-board debugger pulling the #RESET pin low.
3.4 Push Button and LED
The kit has one user push button marked LED0 that is connected to a GPIO on the BGM220P. The button is connected to pin PC07
and it is debounced by an RC filter with a time constant of 1 ms. The logic state of the button is high while the button is not being
pressed, and low when the button is pressed.
The kit also features one yellow LED marked LED0 that is controlled by a GPIO pin on the BGM220P. The LED is connected to pin
PA04 in an active-high configuration.

3.5 On-board Debugger
The BGM220 Explorer Kit contains a microcontroller separate from the BGM220P Wireless Gecko that provides the user with an onboard J-Link debugger through the USB Micro-B port. This microcontroller is referred to as the "on-board debugger", and is not programmable by the user. When the USB cable is removed, the on-board debugger goes into a very low power shutoff mode (EM4S),
consuming around 80 nA typically (EFM32GG12 data sheet number).
In addition to providing code download and debug features, the on-board debugger also presents a virtual COM port for general purpose application serial data transfer. The Packet Trace Interface (PTI) is also supported which offers invaluable debug information
about transmitted and received packets in wireless links.
The figure below shows the connections between the target BGM220P device and the on-board debugger.

3.6.1 Breakout Pads
Twenty breakout pads are provided and allow connection of external peripherals. There are 10 pads on the left side of the board, and
10 pads on the right. The breakout pads contain a number of I/O pins that can be used with most of the BGM220P Wireless Gecko's
features. Additionally, the VMCU (main board power rail), 3V3 (LDO regulator output), and 5V power rails are also exposed on the
pads.
The pin-routing on the Wireless Gecko is very flexible, so most peripherals can be routed to any pin. However, pins may be shared
between the breakout pads and other functions on the BGM220 Explorer Kit. The table below includes an overview of the breakout
pads and functionality that is shared with the kit.

3.6.2 MikroBUS Socket
The BGM220 Explorer Kit features a mikroBUS™ socket compatible with mikroBUS add-on boards. MikroBUS add-on boards can expand the functionality of the kit with peripherals such as sensors and LCDs. Add-on boards follow the mikroBUS socket pin mapping,
and communicates with the on-kit BGM220P through UART, SPI or I2C. Several GPIOs are exposed on the mikroBUS socket. MikroBUS add-on boards can be powered by the 5V or VMCU power rails, which are available on the mikroBUS socket.
The pinout of the BGM220P on the kit is made such that all required peripherals are available on the mikroBUS socket. The I2C signals
are, however, shared with the Qwiic connector, and all mikroBUS signals are also routed to adjacent breakout pads.
When inserting a mikroBUS add-on board, refer to the orientation notch on the BGM220 Explorer Kit, shown in the figure below, to
ensure correct orientation. Add-on boards have a similar notch that needs to be lined up with the one shown below.

The BGM220 Explorer Kit features a Qwiic® connector compatible with Qwiic Connect System hardware. The Qwiic connector provides
an easy way to expand the functionality of the BGM220 Explorer Kit with sensors, LCDs, and other peripherals over the I2C interface.
The Qwiic connector is a 4-pin polarized JST connector, which ensures the cable is inserted the right way.
Qwiic Connect System hardware is daisy chain-able as long as each I2C device in the chain has a unique I2C address.
Note: The Qwiic I2C connections on the BGM220 Explorer Kit are shared with the mikroBUS I2C signals.

4. Debugging
The BGM220 Explorer Kit contains an on-board SEGGER J-Link Debugger that interfaces to the target BGM220P using the Serial Wire
Debug (SWD) interface. The debugger allows the user to download code and debug applications running in the target BGM220P. Additionally, it also provides a virtual COM port (VCOM) to the host computer that is connected to the target device's serial port, for general
purpose communication between the running application and the host computer. The Packet Trace Interface (PTI) is also supported by
the on-board debugger, which offers invaluable debug information about transmitted and received packets in wireless links. The onboard debugger is accessible through the USB Micro-B connector.
4.1 On-board Debugger
The on-board debugger is a SEGGER J-Link debugger running on an EFM32 Giant Gecko. The debugger is directly connected to the
debug and VCOM pins of the target BGM220P.
When the debug USB cable is inserted, the on-board debugger is automatically active and takes control of the debug and VCOM interfaces. This means that debug and communication will not work with an external debugger connected at the same time. The on-board
LDO is also activated which then powers the board. When the USB cable is removed, the on-board debugger goes into a very low
power shutoff mode (EM4S), consuming around 80 nA typically (EFM32GG12 data sheet number). This means that an application running off batteries will not be affected too much by the on-board debugger power consumption. Since the I/O voltage rail of the debugger
remains powered in the battery operated mode, the pins connected to the debug and VCOM interfaces maintain proper isolation and
prevent leakage currents.
4.2 Virtual COM Port
The virtual COM port is a connection to a UART of the target BGM220P and allows serial data to be sent and received from the device.
The on-board debugger presents this as a virtual COM port on the host computer that shows up when the USB cable is inserted.
Data is transferred between the host computer and the debugger through the USB connection, which emulates a serial port using the
USB Communication Device Class (CDC). From the debugger, the data is passed on to the target device through a physical UART
connection.
The serial format is 115200 bps, 8 bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit by default. For more information on
Note: Changing the baud rate for the COM port on the PC side does not influence the UART baud rate between the debugger and the
target device.
