    Take a look at the UART and SPI pins for your MCUs and what software is available.

    Hi Sushanth,

     

    It is up to you to select an interface. johnbeetem has provided some popular examples.

    Once you have decided on an interface, you can google for code examples for that interface and for your desired programming language.

    Because these interfaces are standard, you can be assured that your two boards will communicate. As a result, you don't need to search for

    a "beagle board to EFM32" solution. You just need to search for "beagle board X interface" example software, and "EFM32 X interface" example

    code where X is the interface you have chosen.

     

    If you're unfamiliar with the interfaces mentioned, then you really need to read up on them (wikipedia at a minimum) because they are fundamental for device interfacing.
