QSG107: SLWSTK6101A/B Quick-Start

Guide

The Blue Gecko Bluetooth Smart Wireless Starter Kit is meant to help you evaluate Sil-

icon Labs' Blue Gecko Bluetooth Smart modules and get you started with your own

software development.

This Wireless Starter Kit includes either one of two Radio Boards. SLWSTK6101A con-

tains the BRD4300A Radio Board with the Blue Gecko BGM111 Bluetooth Smart mod-

ule whereas the SLWSTK6101B contains in addition also the BRD4301A with the Blue

Gecko BGM113 Bluetooth Smart module. Both the BGM111 and BGM113 have the

same factory installed demo application software installed in them. This quick-start

guide includes instructions on how to test the built-in demo application using an An-

droid or an iOS mobile phone together with the WSTK and a Radio Board.

The Silicon Labs Blue Gecko SDK available as a free download from the Silicon Labs

web enables the flashing of BGM111 and BGM113 modules with further demo applica-

tions contained in the SDK or with your own software projects.
