Debug Modes - Silicon Laboratories SLSTK3701A User Manual

8.1 Debug Modes

Programming external devices is done by connecting to a target board through the provided Debug IN/OUT Connector, and by setting
the debug mode to [Out]. The same connector can also be used to connect an external debugger to the EFM32 MCU on the kit, by
setting debug mode to [In].
Selecting the active debug mode is done in Simplicity Studio.
Debug MCU: In this mode the on-board debugger is connected to the EFM32 on the kit.
Debug OUT: In this mode, the on-board debugger can be used to debug a supported Silicon Labs device mounted on a custom board.
Debug IN: In this mode, the on-board debugger is disconnected, and an external debugger can be connected to debug the EFM32 on
the kit.
