8 Configuration
Some parameters can be configured using the GUI. The other parameters, such as peripheral control,
can be controlled by software. See the Board Controller chapter for details.
8.1 MCU voltage
The MCU voltage can be set by entering the CFG page from the main page. Use the joystick to navigate
to VMCU and set your desired voltage by moving the joystick sideways. The measured VMCU can be
read at the bottom of this screen. Push Save to store your settings.
8.2 Debug settings
The debug routing can be set by entering the CFG page from the main page. Use the joystick to navigate
to Debug Control and set your desired mode by moving the joystick sideways. Push Save to store your
settings.
See the debug chapter to read more about the different modes.
8.3 Peripheral configuration
The peripheral configuration can be set by entering the CFG page from the main page and then entering
the Peri page. All peripherals connected to the EFM can be en- or disabled individually using the list
displayed in the GUI.
8.4 Program MCU
To program the MCU with files uploaded to the flash, enter the Flash page from the main page. The
list of available binaries are shown, and one of them can be selected by using the joystick. When the
desired binary has been selected, push Flash to program the MCU. While programming, a new page
shows with a progress bar. A status message appears when the programming is finished.
Note
The debug mode has to be set to MCU for this to work.
8.5 Upload files
To upload files, Gecko Commander must be used. This is an executable that can be found in the install
location, typically:
C:\Program Files\Energy Micro\EFM32 Kit Package\GeckoCmd\Gecko.exe
After launching the program, execute this command in Gecko Commander:
put your_binary_file.bin \flash\your_binary_file.bin
To see the commands available, execute this command for help:
