3. Software Setup
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 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 Microsoft Windows 98SE or later.
• 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 Laboratories 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.)

Rev. 0.7
C8051F12x-DK
4.4.1. 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 recognized 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.
4.4.2. 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.
2. Before connecting to the target device, several connection options may need to be set. Open the
Connection Options window by selecting OptionsConnection Options... in the IDE menu. First, select
the appropriate adapter in the “Serial Adapter” section. Next, the correct “Debug Interface” must be selected.
C8051F12x family devices use the JTAG 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 connect/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.

5. Example Source Code
Example source code and register definition files are provided in the “SiLabs\MCU\Examples\C8051F12x” 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.
5.1.
Register Definition Files
Register definition files C8051F120.inc and C8051F120.h define all SFR registers and bit-addressable control/
status bits. They are installed into the “SiLabs\MCU\Examples\C8051F12x” directory during IDE installation. The
register and bit names are identical to those used in the C8051F12x data sheet. Both register definition files are
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.
Code Banking Files
In order to utilize code banking in a project there are two files that will need to be changed. You can either custom
edit L51_bank.a51 and startup.a51 or use the copies installed into the “IDEfiles\C51\Lib” directory during IDE
installation. Both of these files MUST be added to your project and linked with your project in order for code banking to function properly. For more information on code banking, please see Application Note AN130 - Code Banking Using the Keil 8051 Tools.
5.3.
Blinking LED Example
The example source files blink.asm and blinky.c show examples of several basic C8051F12x 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 C8051F120 target board about five times a second using the interrupt handler
with a C8051F120 timer.

6.1. System Clock Sources
The C8051F120 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
3.0625MHz (+/-2%) by default but may be configured by software to operate at other frequencies. Therefore, in
many applications an external oscillator is not required. However, an external 22.1184 MHz crystal is installed on the
target board for additional applications. Refer to the C8051F12x data sheet for more information on configuring the
system clock source.
6.2.
Switches and LEDs
Two switches are provided on the target board. Switch SW1 is connected to the RESET pin of the C8051F120.
Pressing SW1 puts the device into its hardware-reset state. Switch SW2 is connected to the C8051F120’s general
purpose I/O (GPIO) pin through headers. Pressing SW2 generates a logic low signal on the port pin. Remove the
shorting block from the header to disconnect SW2 from the port pins. The port pin signal is also routed to a pin on
the J24 I/O connector. See Table 1 for the port pins and headers corresponding to each switch.
Two LEDs are also provided on the target 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 C8051F120’s GPIO pin
through headers. Remove the shorting block from the header to disconnect the LED from the port pin. The port pin
signal is also routed to a pin on the J24 I/O connector. See Table 1 for the port pins and headers corresponding to
each LED.
