Silicon Labs RAIL provides an intuitive, easily-customizable radio interface layer designed to support proprietary or standards-based wireless protocols. RAIL is delivered as a library that you can link to your applications. RAIL implements commonly-used radio functionality so that it does not have to be written in the application or stack, eliminating the need for developers to become experts in RF register details of complex wireless SoCs. This functionality includes radio configuration, transmit, receive, clear channel assessment, automatic states transitions, auto-ACK, system timing, and channel hopping. All these features can be used to build fully customized network stacks on top of the RAIL API.

From Launcher, select your device from the "Debug Adapters" on the left before creating a project. Then click the EXAMPLE PROJECTS & DEMOS tab -> check proprietary_rail under Provider to show a list of Proprietary RAIL example projects compatible with the selected device. Click CREATE on a project to generate a new application from the selected template.
Alternatively the example application can be created directly by SLC-CLI invocations as documented in the SLC-CLI: Usage page.
For further information on how to work with projects, please refer to the Application Examples: Usage page.
To report bugs in the Application Examples projects, please create a new "Issue" in the "Issues" section of this repo. Please reference the board, project, and source files associated with the bug, and reference line numbers. If you are proposing a fix, also include information on the proposed fix. Since these examples are provided as-is, there is no guarantee that these examples will be updated to fix these issues.
Questions and comments related to these examples should be made by creating a new "Issue" in the "Issues" section of this repo.
The Gecko SDK suite supports development with Silicon Labs IoT SoC and module devices.
