5.1 EFM32
As discussed earlier, the Silicon Labs EFM32 microcontroller is an integral part of the Odyssey
system. There are two methods by which a user can update the EFM32. For users that are not
familiar with Simplicity Studio and the EA Commander, the Silicon Labs EFM32 development
platform, a serial console method can be used.

Serial console
The EFM32 can directly receive a firmware update via the USB serial connection.
Be sure the Odyssey kit is unpowered first then connect the battery board to the BLE sensor
board according to section 4 above.
In order to place the EFM32 microcontroller into the appropriate maintenance mode, create a
short between pins 1 and 4 on J2 (VIN and CLK) on the battery board using a jumper with
micro-clips. Be sure not to short the adjacent pins.

Power-up the kit by plugging the USB cable into a PC with the serial terminal application as
described is section 2.2.5 above. Note: The short needs to be in place when power is first
applied.
applied.
Using the PC’s Device Manager, determine the COM port number assigned to the Odyssey kit
and open a Tera Term session with the following settings.
