Silicon Labs Gecko Bootloader

The Silicon Labs Gecko Bootloader is a versatile program stored in reserved flash memory, designed to initialize devices, update firmware images, and perform integrity checks. It enables seamless reprogramming of devices after production, allowing for the addition of new features or the correction of bugs.

This guide provides comprehensive details for developers working with embedded systems. It covers essential aspects such as bootloader fundamentals, getting started with development using Silicon Labs' Gecko SDK Suite (GSDK) and Simplicity Studio, configuration options, security features like secure boot and signed/encrypted firmware updates, and the GBL file format.

Explore the capabilities of the Gecko Bootloader to enhance your embedded projects. For more information on Silicon Labs' hardware and software products, visit the developers pages. Detailed documentation and resources are available at docs.silabs.com.
