The control firmware of the starter kit can be updated. Simplicity Studio includes the latest firmware, and if the version of the control firmware on the starter kit is older than that, it can be updated when Kit Manager is started. Using this function, it is possible to make a non-mbed starter kit compatible with mbed. For the detailed work procedure, please refer to "EFM32 Seminar Instructor Yama-san's Bag of Wisdom - Support for mbed in the Starter Kit".

Conversely, to return a starter kit that supports mbed to non-support, you will need the old control firmware (attached zip) that is not included in the latest Simplicity Studio. Attached zip is control firmware for WG, GG, LG, HG, ZG starter kit.
