3. Software Setup
Simplicity Studio greatly reduces development time and complexity with Silicon Labs EFM32 and 8051 MCU
products by providing a high-powered IDE, tools for hardware configuration, and links to helpful resources, all in
one place.
Once Simplicity Studio is installed, the application itself can be used to install additional software and
documentation components to aid in the development and evaluation process.
Figure 2. Simplicity Studio
The following Simplicity Studio components are required for the C8051F330 Development Kit:
8051
Products Part Support
Simplicity Developer Platform
Download and install Simplicity Studio from www.silabs.com/8bit-software or www.silabs.com/simplicity-studio.
Once installed, run Simplicity Studio by selecting StartSilicon LabsSimplicity StudioSimplicity Studio
from the start menu or clicking the Simplicity Studio shortcut on the desktop. Follow the instructions to install the
software and click Simplicity IDE to launch the IDE.
The first time the project creation wizard runs, the Setup Environment wizard will guide the user through the
process of configuring the build tools and SDK selection.
In the Part Selection step of the wizard, select from the list of installed parts only the parts to use during
development. Choosing parts and families in this step affects the displayed or filtered parts in the later device
selection menus. Choose the C8051F33x family by checking the C8051F33x check box. Modify the part selection
at any time by accessing the Part Management dialog from the WindowPreferencesSimplicity
StudioPart Management menu item.
Simplicity Studio can detect if certain toolchains are not activated. If the Licensing Helper is displayed after
completing the Setup Environment wizard, follow the instructions to activate the toolchain.

3.1. Running Blinky
Each project has its own source files, target configuration, SDK configuration, and build configurations such as the
Debug and Release build configurations. The IDE can be used to manage multiple projects in a collection called a
workspace. Workspace settings are applied globally to all projects within the workspace. This can include settings
such as key bindings, window preferences, and code style and formatting options. Project actions, such as build
and debug are context sensitive. For example, the user must select a project in the Project Explorer view in order
to build that project.
To create a project based on the Blinky example:
1. Click the Simplicity IDE tile from the Simplicity Studio home screen.
2. Click the Create new project link from the welcome screen or go to FileNewSilicon Labs MCU
Project.
3. In the Kit drop-down, select C8051F330 Development Kit, in the Part drop-down, select C8051F330, and
in the SDK drop-down, select the desired SDK. Click Next.
4. Select Example and click Next.
5. Under C8051F330 Development Kit in the Blinky folder, select F330-5 Blinky and click Finish.
6. Click on the project in the Project Explorer and click Build, the hammer icon in the top bar. Alternatively,
go to ProjectBuild Project.
7. Click Debug to download the project to the hardware and start a debug session.
8. Press the Resume button to start the code running. The LED should blink.
9. Press the Suspend button to stop the code.
10. Press the Reset the device button to reset the target MCU.
11. Press the Disconnect button to return to the development perspective.
3.2. Simplicity Studio Help
Simplicity Studio includes detailed help information and device documentation within the tool. The help contains
descriptions for each dialog window. To view the documentation for a dialog, click the question mark icon in the
window:
This will open a pane specific to the dialog with additional details.
The documentation within the tool can also be viewed by going to HelpHelp Contents or HelpSearch.

4.1. System Clock Sources
The C8051F330 device installed on the target board features a calibrated programmable internal oscillator which is
enabled as the system clock source on reset. After reset, the internal oscillator operates at a frequency of
3.0625 MHz (±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, if you wish to operate the C8051F330 device at a
frequency not available with the internal oscillator, an external crystal may be used. Refer to the C8051F33x data
sheet for more information on configuring the system clock source.
The target board is designed to facilitate the installation of an external crystal. Remove shorting blocks at headers
J9 and J10 and install the crystal at the pads marked Y1. Install a 10 M resistor at R9 and install capacitors at
C14 and C15 using values appropriate for the crystal you select. Refer to the C8051F33x data sheet for more
information on the use of external oscillators.
4.2. Switches and LEDs
Two switches are provided on the target board. Switch SW1 is connected to the RESET pin of the C8051F330.
Pressing SW1 puts the device into its hardware-reset state. Switch SW2 is connected to the C8051F330’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 jumper to disconnect SW2 from the port pins. The port pin signal is also routed to a pin on
the J1 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 C8051F330’s GPIO pin
through headers. Remove the shorting block from the jumper to disconnect the LED from the port pin. The port pin
signal is also routed to a pin on the J1 I/O connector. See Table 1 for the port pins and headers corresponding to
each LED.

4.3. Expansion I/O Connector (J1)
The 22-pin Expansion I/O connector J1 provides access to all signal pins of the C8051F330 device. Pins for +3 V,
digital ground and the output of an on-board low-pass filter are also available. A small through-hole prototyping
area is also provided. All I/O signals routed to connector J1 are also routed to through-hole connection points
between J1 and the prototyping area (see Figure 4 on page 6). Each connection point is labeled indicating the
signal available at the connection point. See Table 2 for a list of pin descriptions for J1.

4.5. Serial Interface (J5)
A RS232 transceiver circuit and DB-9 (J5) connector are provided on the target board to facilitate serial
connections to UART0 of the C8051F330. The TX, RX, RTS and CTS signals of UART0 may be connected to the
DB-9 connector and transceiver by installing shorting blocks on header J3.
J3[5–6]- Install shorting block to connect UART0 TX (P0.4) to transceiver.
J3[7–8]- Install shorting block to connect UART0 RX (P0.5) to transceiver.
J3[9–10]- Install shorting block to connect UART0 RTS (P1.1) to transceiver.
J3[11–12]- Install shorting block to connect UART0 CTS (P1.2) to transceiver.
4.6. Analog I/O (P2)
Several of the C8051F330 target device’s port pins are connected to the J6 terminal block. Refer to Table 4 for the
P2 terminal block connections.

The C8051F330 target board also features a Current-to-Voltage 1 K load resistor that may be connected to the
10-bit current-mode Digital-to-Analog Converter (IDAC) on port pin (P0.1). Install a shorting block on J6 to connect
the IDAC pin of the target device to the load resistor. The IDAC signal is then routed to the J1[2] and P2[2]
connectors.
4.8. USB Debug Adapter Target Board Power Connector (J8)
The USB Debug Adapter includes a connection to provide power to the target board. This connection is routed
from J4[10] to J8[1]. Place a shorting block at header J8[2–3] to power the board directly from an ac/dc power
adapter. Place a shorting block at header J8[1–2] to power the board from the USB Debug Adapter. Please note
that the second option is not supported with either the EC1 or EC2 Serial Adapters.
