### Simplicity Studio Project Generation

Source: https://docs.silabs.com/bluetooth/latest/bluetooth-examples-overview

Steps to generate a Bluetooth example project from an added external repository within Simplicity Studio. This includes selecting the board, verifying Gecko SDK version, and creating the project from the 'Example Projects & Demos' tab.

```APIDOC
Note: Bluetooth stack feature examples are currently compatible with Gecko SDK v4.1 only!
If you are not on the Launcher perspective, open it from the Perspectives toolbar in the upper-right corner.
Select your board in the Debug Adapters view or in the My Products view.
On the General card, verify the Gecko SDK version and change if necessary.
Go to the Example Projects & Demos tab.
Now you should see your repository listed under the Provider filtering class. Select this filter.
Note: The repository only shows up if it contains at least one example that is compatible with your device.
All the examples contained in the repository that are compatible with your device are displayed. Click **Create** on any of them to create a new example project. The example project installs all the software components necessary to demonstrate the given feature, and all the needed code is automatically copied into your project. Additional configuration might be needed, so read the readme file of the example carefully.
