3. Software Setup
The included CD-ROM contains the Silicon Laboratories Integrated Development Environment (IDE), Keil software
8051 tools and additional documentation. Insert the CD-ROM into your PC’s CD-ROM drive. An installer will automatically launch, allowing you to install the IDE software or read documentation by clicking buttons on the Installation Panel. If the installer does not automatically start when you insert the CD-ROM, run autorun.exe found in the
root directory of the CD-ROM. Refer to the readme.txt file on the CD-ROM for the latest information regarding
known IDE problems and restrictions.
4. Silicon Laboratories Integrated Development Environment
The Silicon Laboratories IDE integrates a source-code editor, source-level debugger and in-system Flash programmer. The use of third-party compilers and assemblers is also supported. This development kit includes the Keil
Software A51 macro assembler, BL51 linker and evaluation version C51 ‘C’ compiler. These tools can be used
from within the Silicon Laboratories IDE.
4.1. System Requirements
The Silicon Laboratories IDE requirements:
• Pentium-class host PC running Microsoft Windows 98SE or later.
• One available COM or USB port.
• 64 MB RAM and 40 MB free HD space recommended.
4.2. Assembler and Linker
A full-version Keil A51 macro assembler and BL51 banking linker are included with the development kit and are
installed during IDE installation. The complete assembler and linker reference manual can be found under the Help
menu in the IDE or in the “SiLabs\MCU\hlp” directory (A51.pdf).
4.3. Evaluation C51 ‘C’ Compiler
An evaluation version of the Keil C51 ‘C’ compiler is included with the development kit and is installed during IDE
installation. The evaluation version of the C51 compiler is the same as the full professional version except code
size is limited to 4 kB and the floating point library is not included. The C51 compiler reference manual can be
found under the Help menu in the IDE or in the “SiLabs\MCU\hlp” directory (C51.pdf).
4.4. Using the Keil Software 8051 Tools with the Silicon Laboratories IDE
To perform source-level debugging with the IDE, you must configure the Keil 8051 tools to generate an absolute
object file in the OMF-51 format with object extensions and debug records enabled. You may build the OMF-51
absolute object file by calling the Keil 8051 tools at the command line (e.g. batch file or make file) or by using the
project manager built into the IDE. The default configuration when using the Silicon Laboratories IDE project
manager enables object extension and debug record generation. Refer to Applications Note AN104 - Integrating
Keil 8051 Tools Into the Silicon Labs IDE in the “SiLabs\MCU\Documentation\Appnotes” directory on the CDROM for additional information on using the Keil 8051 tools with the Silicon Laboratories IDE.
To build an absolute object file using the Silicon Laboratories IDE project manager, you must first create a project.
A project consists of a set of files, IDE configuration, debug views, and a target build configuration (list of files and
tool configurations used as input to the assembler, compiler, and linker when building an output object file).
The following sections illustrate the steps necessary to manually create a project with one or more source files,
build a program and download the program to the target in preparation for debugging. (The IDE will automatically
create a single-file project using the currently open and active source file if you select Build/Make Project before a
project is defined.)

4.4.1. Creating a New Project
1. Select ProjectNew Project to open a new project and reset all configuration settings to default.
2. Select FileNew File to open an editor window. Create your source file(s) and save the file(s) with a recognized extension, such as .c, .h, or .asm, to enable color syntax highlighting.
3. Right-click on “New Project” in the Project Window. Select Add files to project. Select files in the file
browser and click Open. Continue adding files until all project files have been added.
4. For each of the files in the Project Window that you want assembled, compiled and linked into the target
build, right-click on the file name and select Add file to build. Each file will be assembled or compiled as
appropriate (based on file extension) and linked into the build of the absolute object file.
Note: If a project contains a large number of files, the “Group” feature of the IDE can be used to organize.
Right-click on “New Project” in the Project Window. Select Add Groups to project. Add pre-defined
groups or add customized groups. Right-click on the group name and choose Add file to group. Select files
to be added. Continue adding files until all project files have been added.
4.4.2. Building and Downloading the Program for Debugging
1. Once all source files have been added to the target build, build the project by clicking on the Build/Make
Project button in the toolbar or selecting ProjectBuild/Make Project from the menu.
Note: After the project has been built the first time, the Build/Make Project command will only build the
files that have been changed since the previous build. To rebuild all files and project dependencies, click
on the Rebuild All button in the toolbar or select ProjectRebuild All from the menu.
2. Before connecting to the target device, several connection options may need to be set. Open the
Connection Options window by selecting OptionsConnection Options... in the IDE menu. First, select
the appropriate adapter in the “Serial Adapter” section. Next, the correct “Debug Interface” must be selected.
C8051F2xx family devices use the JTAG debug interface. Once all the selections are made, click the OK
button to close the window.
3. Click the Connect button in the toolbar or select DebugConnect from the menu to connect to the device.
4. Download the project to the target by clicking the Download Code button in the toolbar.
Note: To enable automatic downloading if the program build is successful select Enable automatic connect/download after build in the ProjectTarget Build Configuration dialog. If errors occur during the
build process, the IDE will not attempt the download.
5. Save the project when finished with the debug session to preserve the current target build configuration,
editor settings and the location of all open debug views. To save the project, select Project->Save Project
As... from the menu. Create a new name for the project and click on Save.

5. Example Source Code
Example source code and register definition files are provided in the “SiLabs\MCU\Examples\C8051F2xx”
directory during IDE installation. These files may be used as a template for code development. Example
applications include a blinking LED example which configures the green LED on the target board to blink at a fixed
rate.
5.1. Register Definition Files
Register definition files C8051F200.inc and C8051F200.h define all SFR registers and bit-addressable
control/status bits. They are installed into the “SiLabs\MCU\Examples\C8051F2xx” directory during IDE
installation. The register and bit names are identical to those used in the C8051F2xx data sheet. Both register
definition files are also installed in the default search path used by the Keil Software 8051 tools. Therefore, when
using the Keil 8051 tools included with the development kit (A51, C51), it is not necessary to copy a register
definition file to each project’s file directory.
5.2. Blinking LED Example
The example source files blink.asm and blinky.c show examples of several basic C8051F2xx functions. These
include; disabling the watchdog timer (WDT), configuring the Port I/O crossbar, configuring a timer for an interrupt
routine, initializing the system clock, and configuring a GPIO port. When compiled/assembled and linked this
program flashes the green LED on the target board about five times a second using the interrupt handler with a
timer.

6.1. System Clock Sources
The C8051F2xx device installed on the target board features a internal oscillator which is enabled as the system
clock source on reset. After reset, the internal oscillator operates at a frequency of 2MHz (+/-2%) by default but
may be configured by software to operate at other frequencies. Therefore, in many applications an external
oscillator is not required. However, an external crystal may be installed on the target board for additional
applications. The target board is designed to facilitate the installation of an external crystal at the pads marked Q1.
Refer to the C8051F2xx datasheet for more information on configuring the system clock source. Following are a

6.2. Switches and LEDs
Two switches are provided on the target board. Switch SW1 is connected to the RESET pin of the C8051F2xx
device on the target board. Pressing SW1 puts the device into its hardware-reset state. The device will leave the
reset state after SW1 is released. Switch SW2 is connected to the device’s general purpose I/O (GPIO) pin through
headers. Pressing SW2 generates a logic low signal on the port pin. Remove the shorting block from the header to
disconnect SW2 from the port pins. The port pin signal is also routed to a pin on the J2 I/O connector. See Table 1
for the port pins and headers corresponding to each switch.
Two LEDs are also provided on the target board. The red LED labeled PWR is used to indicate a power connection
to the target board. The green LED labeled with a port pin name is connected to the device’s GPIO pin through
headers. Remove the shorting block from the header to disconnect the LED from the port pin. The port pin signal is
also routed to a pin on the J2 I/O connector. See Table 1 for the port pins and headers corresponding to each LED.

6.4. Analog I/O (J5, J6, J7, Terminal Block)
An Analog I/O Configuration connector (J6) provides the ability to route analog I/O signals from the C8051F2xx to
a terminal block in addition to connector J2 by installing shorting blocks on J6. Additionally, if shorting blocks are
installed on J5 and J7, the analog signals routed through J6 can be inputs to the C8051F2xx at port pins P3.0
and/or P3.1. The port pins can then be configured as inputs to the on-chip ADC for evaluation. J6 also allows the
user to route analog signals from the terminal block to port pins P1.3 and P1.4. These port pin can then be
configured as inputs to Comparator 1. The PWM signal from the low-pass filter is also routed to J6 to provide a
user controlled analog voltage level. This signal can then be used to evaluate the on-chip ADC by placing a
shorting block on J6 (provided the J5 or J7 header is shorted). Refer to Figure 3 to determine the shorting block
installation positions required to create the desired analog signal paths. Refer to Table 3 for terminal block
connections and Table 4 for J6 pin definitions.

6.6. Low-pass Filter (PWMIN)
The C8051F2xx target board features a low-pass filter that may be connected to port pin P2.7. Install a shorting
block on connector “PWMIN” to connect the P2.7 pin of the target device to the low-pass filter input. The output of
the low-pass filter is routed to the PWM signal at J6[6]. To route the PWM signal to the ADC on the target device, a
shorting block should be placed on “PWMIN”, and a shorting block placed on connector “P3.0AIN” (J5) or
“P3.1AIN” (J7). Connector J6 is used to connect the PWM voltage to the P3.0AIN or P3.1AIN signal routed to the
corresponding port pins (See Figure 3). These port pins are then configured for use by the ADC.
The C8051F2xx may be programmed to generate a PWM (Pulse-Width Modulated) waveform which is then input
to the low-pass filter to implement a user-controlled PWM digital-to-analog converter. Refer to Applications Note
AN110 - Implementing 16-Bit PWM Using an On-Chip Timer in the “Documentation” directory on the CD-ROM
for a discussion on generating a programmable dc voltage level with a PWM waveform and low-pass filter.
6.7. Expansion I/O Connector (J2)
The target board provides access to all C8051F2xx signals (except the four JTAG signals: TCK, TMS, TDO and
TDI used to connect the Emulation Cartridge – these are accessed using test points in place near the J4 header)
via the 64-pin connector J2. A small through-hole prototyping area is also provided. All I/O signals routed to
connector J2 are also routed to through-hole connection points between J2 and the prototyping area (see
Figure 2). The signal layout pattern of these connection points is identical to the adjacent J2 connector pins.
Table 5 shows the pin-out of the J2 connector.
