QSG185: Z-Wave 800 Dev Kit
Thunderboard Quick Start Guide with
Unify
The Z-Wave 800 Thunderboard BRD2603A Radio Board is an excellent starting
point to get familiar with the ZGM230S Z-Wave 800 SiP Module. The board is a
small and cost-effective, feature-rich prototype and development platform based
on the ZGM230S SiP Module.
It has been designed to inspire customers to make energy-friendly, battery-oper-
ated and secure connected IoT devices using Z-Wave MESH and Z-Wave Long
Range protocols. Customers can develop wide range command, control, and
monitoring applications utilizing numerous sensors, buttons, and LEDs on this
board. A built-in SEGGER J-Link debugger ensures easy debugging using a
USB Type-C cable.
The Z-Wave 800 Dev Kit is supported in Simplicity Studio and it ships with Unify
SDK, a portable environment that works with any Z-Wave end device and pro-
vides a flying start, out-of-box experience for Z-Wave applications. This Quick
Start Guide describes the steps to get up and running quickly with the Dev Kit
with Unify environment. The portable runtime comes as an executable CLI, to-
gether with Unify, a docker-compose file, and a tool which can map a Silicon
Labs device with a docker environment on Windows, MacOS, or Linux.
