2. About the Daughter Boards
The C8051T620 and C8051T622 Development Kits include an Emulation Daughter Board (EDB) and a QFN
Socket Daughter Board (QFN-DB). The EDB has an installed C8051F34A device, which is a Flash-based device
that can be used for the majority of C8051T62x/32x code development. The QFN-DB is intended to allow both
programming and system-level debugging of C8051T62x/32x devices directly.
A C8051T62x/32x device cannot be erased once it has been programmed; so, it is advisable to use the
C8051F34A for the majority of code development. Refer to “AN368: Differences between the C8051F34A and the
C8051T62x and C8051T32x Device Families” for more details on how the C8051F34A can be used to develop
code for the C8051T62x/32x device families.

The Configuration Wizard utility helps accelerate development by automatically generating initialization source
code to configure and enable the on-chip resour ces needed b y most design project s. In just a few steps, th e wizard
creates complete startup code for a specific Silicon Laboratories MCU. The program is configurable to provide the
output in C or assembly language.
For more information, refer to the Configuration Wizard 2 help available under the Help menu in Configuration
Wizard 2 or refer to the Configuration Wizard 2 documentation. Documentation and software are available on the
kit CD and from the downloads webpage: www.silabs.com/mcudownloads.
5.4. Keil uVision2, uVision3, and uV ision4 Silicon La boratories Drivers
As an alternative to the Silicon Laboratories IDE, the µVision debug driver allows the Keil µVision2, µVision3, and
µVision4 IDEs to communicate with Silicon Laboratories’ on-chip debug logic. In-system Flash memory
programming integrated into the driver allows for rapid updating of target code. The µVision2, µVision3, and
µVision4 IDEs can be used to start and stop program execution, set breakpoints, check variables, inspect and
modify memory contents, and single-step through programs running on the actual target hardware.
For more information, refer to the µVision driver documentation. The documentation and software are available on
the kit CD and from the downloads webpage: www.silabs.com/mcudownloads.
5.5. Programming Utilities
The Silicon Labs IDE is the primary tool for downloading firmware to the MCU during development. There are two
software programming tools that are intended for use during prototyping or in the field: the MCU Production
Programmer and the Flash Programming Uti lities. The MCU Production Pro grammer is inst alled with the IDE to the
directory, C:\Silabs\MCU\Utilities\Production Programmer\ (default). The Flash Programming Utilities can be
optionally installed from the CD and are installed to C:\Silabs\MCU\Utilities\FLASH Programming\ (default).
5.6. ToolStick Terminal
The onboard debug circuitry provides both an in-system programming and debugging interface and a
communications interface to the target microcontroller's UART. The ToolStick Terminal software can access the
debug hardware's communications path and provides a terminal-like interface on the PC. Note that for concurrent
debugging and UART communications, the CP2103 USB-to-UART bridge is also included onboard.
In addition to the standard terminal functions (Send File, Receive File, Change Baud Rate), two GPIO pins on the
target microcontroller can be controlled using the terminal for either RTS/CTS handshaking or softwareconfigurable purposes. The ToolStick Terminal software is available on the downloads webpage: www.silabs.com/
mcudownloads.

6. Example Source Code
Example source code and register definition files are provided by default in the
SiLabs\MCU\Examples\C8051T620_1_T320_3 or SiLabs\MCU\Examples\C8051T622_3_T326_7 directory during
IDE installation. These files may be used as a template for code development.
6.1. Register Definition Files
Register definition files C8051T620.inc, C8051T622.inc, C8051T620_defs.h, C8051T622_defs.h, and
compiler_defs.h define all SFR registers and bit-addressable control/status bits. They are installed by default into
the SiLabs\MCU\Examples\C8051T620_1_T320_3 or SiLabs\MCU\Examples\C8051T622_3_T326_7 directory
during IDE installation. The register and bit names are identical to those used in the C8051T620-21_T320-3 or
C8051T620-23_T326-27 dat a sheet.
6.2. Blinking LED Example
The example source files T620_Blinky.asm and T620_Blinky.c or T622_Blinky.asm and T622_Blinky.c show
examples of several basic C 8051T62x functions. Thes e include disabling the watchdog timer (WDT), c onfiguring
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, these programs flash the green LED on the C8051T62x
Motherboard about five times a second using the interrupt handler with a timer.
