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 kit 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 Windows 2000 or Windows XP.

• One available COM or USB 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 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 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).

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.

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. Example Source Code

Example source code and register definition files are provided in the “SiLabs\MCU\Examples\C8051F34x”

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 C8051F34x development kit.

5.1. Register Definition Files

status bits. They are installed into the “SiLabs\MCU\Examples\C8051F34x” 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.

5.2. Blinking LED Example

The example source files blink.asm and blinky.c show examples of several basic C8051F34x 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 C8051F340 target board about five times a second using the interrupt

handler with a timer.

5.3. 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 C8051F340 device, a USB device driver running on the host PC, and a host

application. The host application communicates with the C8051F340 via USB, allowing the user to view and to

change the state of several I/O peripherals on the C8051F340 target board. The example files can be found in the

“SiLabs\MCU\Examples\C8051F34x\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’ C8051F34x datasheet.

6.1. System Clock Sources

The C8051F340 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

applications an external oscillator is not required. However, if you wish to operate the C8051F340 device at a

frequency not available with the internal oscillator, an external crystal may be used. Refer to the C8051F34x

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

J10 and J11 and install the crystal at the pads marked Y1. Install a 10 MΩresistor at R1 and install capacitors at C6

and C7 using values appropriate for the crystal you select. Refer to the C8051F34x datasheet for more information

on the use of external oscillators.

6.2. Switches and LEDs

Three switches are provided on the target board. Switch RESET is connected to the RESET pin of the C8051F340.

Pressing RESET puts the device into its hardware-reset state. Switches P2.0 and P2.1 are connected to the

C8051F340’s general purpose I/O (GPIO) pins through headers. Pressing P2.0 or P2.1 generates a logic low

signal on the port pin. Remove the shorting blocks from the J12 header to disconnect Switch P2.0 and Switch P2.1

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 target board. The red 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 areconnected to the

C8051F340’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.

Also included on the C8051F340 target board is a 10 KΩThumb-wheel Rotary Potentiometer, part number R10.

The Potentiometer is connected to the C8051F340’s P2.5 pin through the J17 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.

6.4. PORT I/O Connectors (J2 - J6)

In addition to all port I/O signals being routed to the 96-pin expansion connector, each of the five parallel ports of

the C8051F340 has its own 10-pin header connector. Each connector provides a pin for the corresponding port

pins 0–7, +3.3 VDC and digital ground. Table 3 defines the pins for the port connectors. The same pin-out order is

used for all of the port connectors.

6.5. USB Self-powered Configuration (J8)

The C8051F340 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, short

the VREGIN and VBUS pins on the J8 header

Note: When the C8051F340 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 Adapters’

dc power jack. Also, the RS232 Serial Interface (P4) cannot be used when powering the target board from the

USB.
