5.2. 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).

5.3. 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).

5.4. 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 CD-

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 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.)

5.4.1. Creating a New Project

1. Select Project->New Project to open a new project and reset all configuration settings to default.

2. Select File->New File to open an editor window. Create your source file(s) and save the file(s) with a rec-

ognized 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.

5.4.2. 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 Project->Build/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 Project->Rebuild All from the menu.

Before connecting to the target device, several connection options may need to be set.

Open the

in the IDE menu. First, select

the adapter that was included with the kit in the “Serial Adapter” section. Next, the correct “Debug Interface”

must be selected.

C8051F32x

family devices use the Silicon Labs 2-wire (C2) 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

Debug->Connect

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 con-

nect/download after build in the Project->Target 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.

6. Example Source Code

Example source code and register definition files are provided in the “SiLabs\MCU\Examples\

C8051F32x

” 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. A Universal

Serial Bus (USB) application example is also included with the C8051F32x development kit.

6.1. Register Definition Files

status bits. They are installed into the “SiLabs\MCU\Examples\C8051F32x” directory during IDE installation. The

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.

6.2. Blinking LED Example

The example source files blink.asm and blinky.c show examples of several basic C8051F32x 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 pro-

gram flashes the green LED on the C8051F320 target board about five times a second using the interrupt handler

with a C8051F320 timer.

6.3. Universal Serial Bus (USB) Application Example

The included USB application example requires Windows 98SE/2000/XP operating system. This example consists

of three parts, firmware running on the C8051F320 device, a USB device driver running on the host PC, and a host

application. The host application communicates with the C8051F320 via USB, allowing the user to view and to

change the state of several I/O peripherals on the C8051F320 target board. The example files can be found in the

“SiLabs\MCU\Examples\C8051F32x\C\USB_INT” directory. Located in this directory is the project file for the

firmware, the USB driver files, and the host application executable. In addition, three subdirectories are provided

that contain the source code for each part of the example application; Host Application Source, Driver Source, and

Firmware. Use the following instructions to set up the example USB firmware, install the USB driver, and then run

the example host application.

After the target board is connected to the host computer via USB, the example application enumerates and sends

data between the target and the host application using Endpoint 0, 1, and 2. The Endpoint 0 packets are control

packets as defined in Chapter 9 of the Universal Serial Bus Specification, version 2.0. Endpoints 1 and 2 are used

for data IN and OUT, respectively. These data packets consist of 8 bytes used to denote the current status of the

buttons, LEDs, Potentiometer, and logic levels of various port pins on the target board. Accessing the USB core

(i.e., accessing the USB registers and moving data to and from the Endpoint FIFOs on the target board) is

documented in Silicon Laboratories’ C8051F32x datasheet.

6.3.1. Setting-up the Firmware

7.1. System Clock Sources

The

C8051F320

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 1.5 MHz

(±1.5%) by default but may be configured by software to operate at other frequencies. Therefore, in many applica-

tions an external oscillator is not required. However, if you wish to operate the C8051F320 device at a frequency not

available with the internal oscillator, an external crystal may be used. Refer to the

C8051F32x

datasheet 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 MΩresistor at R9 and install capacitors at

C14 and C15 using values appropriate for the crystal you select. Refer to the C8051F32x datasheet for more infor-

mation on the use of external oscillators.

7.2. Switches and LEDs

Three switches are provided on the target board. Switch SW1 is connected to the RESET pin of the C8051F320.

Pressing SW1 puts the device into its hardware-reset state. Switch SW2 and SW3 are connected to the

C8051F320’s general purpose I/O (GPIO) pins through headers. Pressing SW2 or SW3 generates a logic low sig-

nal on the port pin. Remove the shorting blocks from the header to disconnect SW2 and SW3 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 cor-

responding to each switch.

Three LEDs are also provided on the target board. The red LED labeled PWR is used to indicate a power connec-

tion to the target board. The green LEDs labeled with port pin names areconnected to the C8051F320’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 correspond-

ing to each LED.

Also included on the C8051F320 target board is a 10 K

Ω

Thumb-wheel Rotary Potentiometer, part number R14. The

Potentiometer is connected to the C8051F320’s GPIO pin through a header. Remove the shorting block from the

header to disconnect the Potentiometer 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 pin and header corresponding to the Potentiometer.

7.3. Universal Serial Bus (USB) Interface (J14)

A Universal Serial Bus (USB) connector (J14) is provided to facilitate connections to the USB interface on the

C8051F320. Table 2 shows the J14 pin definitions.

7.4. Expansion I/O Connector (J1)

The 32-pin Expansion I/O connector J1 provides access to all signal pins of the C8051F320 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 8). Each connection point is labeled indicating the signal available at

the connection point. See Table 3 for a list of pin descriptions for J1.

7.5. USB Self-powered Configuration (J2, J11)

The C8051F320 target board can be configured as a self-powered USB device to take power from the USB cable

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) & J11(OFF) ->Target Board is powered from the AC/DC Adapter at P1.

J2(OFF) & J11(ON) ->Target Board is powered from the USB connection

Note: When the C8051F320 target board is self-powered from the USB, the Serial Adapter is not powered from the

target board. The Serial Adapter must be powered directly by connecting the AC/DC adapter to the Serial Adapt-

ers’ DC power jack. Also, the RS232 Serial Interface (J5) cannot be used when powering the target board from the

USB.
