Thunderboard Sense 2 Sensor-to-Cloud Advanced IoT
=================================================

.. contents::

Hardware
--------

Platform :ref:`platform_siliconlabsefm32`: Silicon Labs EFM32 Gecko 32-bit microcontroller (MCU) family includes devices that offer flash memory configurations up to 256 kB, 32 kB of RAM and CPU speeds up to 48 MHz. Based on the powerful ARM Cortex-M core, the Gecko family features innovative low energy techniques, short wake-up time from energy saving modes and a wide selection of peripherals, making it ideal for battery operated applications and other systems requiring high performance and low-energy consumption.

Configuration
-------------

Please use ``tb_sense_12`` ID for :ref:`projectconf_env_board` option in :ref:`projectconf`:

.. code-block:: ini

  [env:tb_sense_12]
  platform = siliconlabsefm32
  board = tb_sense_12

You can override default Thunderboard Sense 2 Sensor-to-Cloud Advanced IoT settings per build environment using
``board_***`` option, where ``***`` is a JSON object path from
board manifest `tb_sense_12.json <https://github.com/platformio/platform-siliconlabsefm32/blob/master/boards/tb_sense_12.json>`_. For example,
``board_build.mcu``, ``board_build.f_cpu``, etc.

.. code-block:: ini

  [env:tb_sense_12]
  platform = siliconlabsefm32
  board = tb_sense_12

  ; change microcontroller
  board_build.mcu = EFR32MG12P432F1024

  ; change MCU frequency
  board_build.f_cpu = 40000000L


Uploading
---------
Thunderboard Sense 2 Sensor-to-Cloud Advanced IoT supports the next uploading protocols:

* ``blackmagic``
* ``jlink``
* ``mbed``

Default protocol is ``mbed``

You can change upload protocol using :ref:`projectconf_upload_protocol` option:

.. code-block:: ini

  [env:tb_sense_12]
  platform = siliconlabsefm32
  board = tb_sense_12

  upload_protocol = mbed

Debugging
---------

:ref:`piodebug` - "1-click" solution for debugging with a zero configuration.

.. warning::
    You will need to install debug tool drivers depending on your system.
    Please click on compatible debug tool below for the further
    instructions and configuration information.

You can switch between debugging :ref:`debugging_tools` using
:ref:`projectconf_debug_tool` option in :ref:`projectconf`.

Thunderboard Sense 2 Sensor-to-Cloud Advanced IoT has on-board debug probe and **IS READY** for debugging. You don't need to use/buy external debug probe.

    * - :ref:`framework_mbed`
      - The mbed framework The mbed SDK has been designed to provide enough hardware abstraction to be intuitive and concise, yet powerful enough to build complex projects. It is built on the low-level ARM CMSIS APIs, allowing you to code down to the metal if needed. In addition to RTOS, USB and Networking libraries, a cookbook of hundreds of reusable peripheral and module libraries have been built on top of the SDK by the mbed Developer Community.
