1.3 Getting Started
The first step to get started with your new EFM32GG-STK3700 is to go to
[http://www.energymicro.com/simplicity]
The Simplicity Studio software package contains all the tools, drivers, software examples and
documentation needed to use the EFM32 Giant Gecko Starter Kit Some important tools for use with the
EFM32GG-STK3700 are:
• energyAware Commander
• energyAware Profiler
The energyAware Commander is a tool for updating the kit's firmware, programming the MCU and
launching demos.
The energyAware Profiler is the PC-side interface to the Advanced Energy Monitor. It provides the
possibility to do energy-debugging and profiling of application code.
