1. Overview
Thank you for your interest in Silicon Laboratories Si4x55 EZRadio® Two-Way Link Development Kit. The Silicon
laboratories Si4x55 EZRadio Two Way Link Development Kit (P/N EZR-LEDK2W-XXX) contains everything you
need to familiarize yourself with and evaluate the Si4455 transceivers. The kit has three versions: one for the
434 MHz band, one for the 868 MHz ban d, and one for the 915 MHz band. The key features of the devel opment kit
are as follows:
The base boards have an LCD display and four LEDs to display information and four pu sh-buttons to
receive user commands. Additionally, the Silicon Labs Toolstick Base Adapter is integrated on the board to
be easily connected to the PC.
The RFpico board provides connection to the Si4455 transceivers. All supported types of RFpico boards
can be applied to the ba se boa rd.
The provided softwa re pack cont ains all the docum ent ation an d files needed to develop a user application.
The kit supports the use of the Silicon Laboratories Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for
software debugging and the use of the Keil & SDCC C compiler, assembler, and linker toolchain.
The kit supports use of the Wireless Developm ent Suite (WDS) for setting ra dio p arameters an d managing
application firmware.
The base boards come with the Si4455 ran ge test demo application. The range test demo implements
Packet Error Rate (PER) measur ement. PER is gener ally used in wir eless system s to measure the q uality
of the RF link in given circumstances.
Note: Although the development kit comes with Si4455 RFpico boards, the range test demo application also can be used with
RFpico boards that come with Si4355 receivers.
