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 k it 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 95 or later, or Microsoft Windows NT or later.
• One available COM 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 on-line 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 4K bytes 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.
Keil 8051 Tools Into the Silicon Labs IDE
ROM 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 configur ation, 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).

5. Example Source Code
Example source code and register definition files are provided in the “SiLabs\MCU\Examples\
during IDE installation. T hes e f iles may be u sed as a te mplate 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 C8051F310.inc and C8051F310.h define all SFR registers and bit-addressable control/
status bits. They are installed into the “SiLabs\MCU \Examples\C8051F31x” directory during IDE installation. The
register and bit names are identical to those used in the C8051F31x data sheet. Both register definition files are
also installed in the default search pa th 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 C8051F31x 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 C8051F310 target board about five times a second using the interrupt handler
with a C8051F310 timer.

6.1. System Clock Sources
The
C8051F310
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. Theref ore, in many
applications an external oscillator is not required. However, if you wish to operate the C8051F310 device at a frequency not available with the internal oscillator , an external crysta l may be used. Refer to the
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 jumpers
J9 and J10 and install the crystal at the pads marked Y1. Install a 10 MΩ resistor at R9 and install capacitors at
C14 and C15 using values appropriate for the crystal you select. Refe r to the C8 051F31x dat a she et for more info rmation on the use of external oscillators.
6.2. Switches and LEDs
Two switches are provided on the target board. Switch SW1 is connected to the RESET pin of the C8051F310.
Pressing SW1 puts the device into its hardware-reset state. Switch SW2 is connected to the C8051F310’s general
purpose I/O (GPIO) pin through jumpers. Pressing SW2 generates a logic low signal on the port pin. Remove the
shorting block from the jumper to disconnec t 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 jumpers corresponding to each switch.
Two LEDs are also pr ovided on the t arget 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 C8051F310’s GPIO pin
through jumpers. 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 jumpers corresponding to
each LED.

6.7. Serial Adapter Target Board Power Connector (J8)
The Serial 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 jumper J8[2-3] to power the board directly from an AC/DC power adapter.
Place a shorting block at jumper J8[1-2] to power the board from the Serial Adapter. Please note that the second
option is not supported with either the EC1 or EC2 Serial Adapters.
6.8. Low-pass Filter (J7)
The C8051F310 target board features a low-pass filter that may be connected to port pin P2.4. Install a shorting
block on J7[1-2] to connect the P2.4 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 J1[2]. The C8051F310 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 AN107 - Implementing 16-Bit PWM Usin g the PCA in the “documenta-
tion” directory on the CD-ROM for a discussion on generating a programmable DC voltage level with a PWM
waveform and low-pass filter.

7. Serial Adapter
The Serial Adapter provides the interface between the PC’s RS232 serial port and the C8051F31x’s in-system
debug/programming circuitry. The Serial Adapter connects to the C8051F310 C2 debug interface on the target
board using the 10-pin connector on the Serial Adapter labele d “JTAG”, see Figure 3. (The Serial Adapter supports
both Silicon Laboratories JTAG and C2 debug interfaces.). All Serial Adapters may be powered from the target
board, but the EC1 and EC2 Serial Adapter units cannot provide power to the target board. Table 5 shows the pin
definitions for the Serial Adapter’s JTAG connector.
Notes:
1. When powering the Serial Adapter via the JTAG connector, the input voltage to the JTAG connector ’s
power pin must be 3.0 to 3.6 VDC. Otherwise, the Serial Adapter must be powered directly by connecting
the AC/DC adapter to the Serial Adapter’s DC power jack.
2. The Serial Adapter requires a target system clock of 32 Khz or greater.
