This repo contains example drivers developed by Silicon Labs engineers and are provided as an SDK extension. These drivers interface with different types of external hardware and are tested against a specific device listed in the driver name. These drivers are intended to be fully compatible with Silicon Labs' wireless stacks. All drivers provide a minimal Simplicity Studio project for testing and to show an example usage of the driver. The driver source is provided for modification and extension as needed. All drivers in this repository are considered to be EVALUATION QUALITY which implies that the code provided in the repos is subjected to limited testing and is provided provided as-is. It is not suitable for production environments.
The following table shows extension support for Silicon Labs SoCs where 
| Chip family | v1.x.x | v2.x.x | v3.x.x | v4.x.x |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Series 1 | |
|
|
|
| Series 2 | |
|
|
|
| SiWx917 | |
|
This extension supports Simplicity SDK from v4.0.0, prior versions support GSDK.
For the SiW917 chip family, WiseConnect SDK is supported from v3.0.0.
Each release provides SDK compatibility information in the README file, for further details check the version-specific readmes.
