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.
The following Simplicity Studio components are required for the C8051F326 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 St art
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 C8051F326/7 family by checking the C8051F32x check box. Modify the part
selection at any time by accessing the Part Management dialog from the Window
Studio
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 Software Examples tile from the Simplicity Studio home screen.
2. In the Kit drop-down, select C8051F326 Development Kit, in the Part drop-down, select C8051F326, and
in the SDK drop-down, select the desired SDK. Click Next.
3. Select Example and click Next.
4. Under C8051F326 Development Kit in the Blinky folder, select F326-7 BlinkyC and click Next, then
Finish.
5. Click on the project in the Project Explorer and click Build, the hammer icon in the top bar. Alternatively,
go to Project
6. Click Debug to download the project to the hardware and start a debug session.
7. Press the Resume button to start the code running. The LED should blink.
Build Project.
8. Press the Suspend button to stop the code.
9. Press the Reset the device button to reset the target MCU.
10. 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 Help
Help Contents or HelpSearch.

4.1. System Clock Sources
The
C8051F326
enabled as the system clock source on reset. After reset, the internal oscillator operates at a frequency of 1.5 MHz
(±1.5%) 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 opera te the C8051F326 device at a frequency not
available with the internal oscillator, an external CMOS oscillator 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 CMOS oscillator. Remove shorting block at
header J10 and connect the oscillator output to the header. Refer to the C8051F326/7 datasheet for more information on the use of external oscillators.
4.2. Switches and LEDs
Three switches are provided on the targe t board. Switch S1 is connected to the /RST pin of the C8051F326. Pressing S1 puts the device into its hardware-reset state. Switches S2 and S3 are connected to the C8051F326’s general purpose I/O (GPIO) pins through headers. Pressing S2 or S3 generates a logic low signal on the port pin.
Remove the shorting blocks from the header to disconnect S2 and S3 from the port pins. The port pin signals are
also routed to pins on the J1 I/O connector. See Table 1 for the port pins and headers corresponding to each
switch.
Three LEDs are also provided on the tar get board . The r ed LED labeled PWR LED is used to indicate a power connection to the target board. The green surface mount LEDs labeled with port pin names are connected to the
C8051F326’s GPIO pins through headers. Remove the shorting blocks from the header to disconnect the LEDs
from the port pin. The port pin signals are also routed to pins on the J1 I/O connector. See Table 1 for the port pins
and headers corresponding to each LED.

4.5. USB Self-powered Configuration
The C8051F326 target board can be powered from three different sources. The sources are the ac/dc adapter
(P1), USB connection (J9), and the USB Debug adapter (J4). Only one p owe r so urce sho uld be enab le d at an y
time. See Section 4.8. for infomation on using the USB Debug Adapter as a power source for the board.
The C8051F326 target board can be configured as a self-powered USB device to take power from the USB cable
at J9 instead of the ac/dc adapter connected at P1. To configure the target boards as a self-powered USB device,
remove the shorting block from J2 and install on J11. (A shorting block should only be installed on J2 or J11, never
both at the same time.) Install shorting blocks in the following manner:
J2(ON) & J1 1(OFF)
J2(OFF) & J11(ON)
Notes:
• When the C8051F326 target board is self-p owered fr om th e USB connection ( J9), the EC2 Seri al Adapter is
not powered from the target board. The EC2 Serial Adapter must be powered directly by connecting the ac/
dc adapter to the Serial Adapter’s dc power jack.
• The RS232 Serial Interface (J5) cannot be used when powering the target board from the USB connection (J9).

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.
