Proper Method of Holding the ToolStick Avoid directly touching any of the other components. Figure 2. Improper Method of Holding the ToolStick Manipulate mechanical devices on the daughter cards, such as potentiometers, with care to prevent the Base Adapter or daughter card from accidentally dislodging from their sockets. Rev. 0.2 11/14 Copyright © 2014 by Silicon Laboratories ToolStick-C8051F530ADC ToolStick-F530ADC 2. Contents The ToolStick-F530ADC kit contains the following items: ToolStick C8051F530A Daughter Card A ToolStick daughter card requires a ToolStick Base Adapter to communicate with the PC. ToolStick Base Adapters can be purchased at www.silabs.com/toolstick. 3. ToolStick Overview The purpose of the ToolStick is to provide a development and demonstration platform for Silicon Laboratories microcontrollers and to demonstrate the Silicon Laboratories software tools, including the Integrated Development Environment (IDE). The ToolStick development platform consists of two components: the ToolStick Base Adapter and a daughter card. The ToolStick Base Adapter provides a USB debug interface and data communications path between a Windows PC and a target microcontroller. The C8051F530A Daughter Card includes a pair of LEDs, a potentiometer, an LIN transceiver, a connector block for the LIN signals, a switch connected to a GPIO, and a small prototyping area that provides access to all of the pins of the device. This prototyping area can be used to connect additional hardware to the microcontroller and use the daughter card as a development platform. The board also includes a LIN transceiver and a circuit that doubles the +5 V from the USB interface to generate the 10 V supply needed for LIN communication. The terminal block, J2, allows developers to use an external LIN supply voltage instead of the voltage generated on the board. Figure 3 shows the ToolStick C8051F530A Daughter Card and identifies the various components.

Configuration Wizard 2 Utility The Configuration Wizard 2 utility helps accelerate development by automatically generating initialization source code to configure and enable the on-chip resources needed by most design projects. In just a few steps, the wizard creates complete startup code for a specific Silicon Laboratories MCU. The program is configurable to provide the output in C or assembly. For more information, refer to the Configuration Wizard 2 documentation. The documentation and software available from the Downloads web page (www.silabs.com/mcudownloads). Rev. 0.2 5 ToolStick-F530ADC 5.4. ToolStick Terminal The ToolStick Terminal program provides the standard terminal interface to the target microcontroller's UART. However, instead of requiring the usual RS-232 and COM port connection, ToolStick Terminal uses the USB interface of the ToolStick Base Adapter to provide the same functionality. The software is available on the ToolStick web page (www.silabs.com/toolstick). 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 software-configurable purposes. To use the ToolStick Terminal program: 1. Download an example to the ToolStick device that uses UART communication. One example of this type is the TS F52x-53x FeaturesDemo example from the Simplicity Studio example project creation wizard. 2. Disconnect from the device in the Simplicity IDE. The IDE and the ToolStick Terminal cannot communicate with the daughter card simultaneously. 3. Open ToolStick Terminal from the Start Programs Silicon Labs menu. 4. In the top, left-hand corner of the Terminal application, available devices are shown in the drop-down Connection menu. Click Connect to connect to the device. 5. If using the TS F52x-53x FeaturesDemo example, text printed from the device will appear in the Receive Data window. 6. Rotate the potentiometer on the board to change the blink rate or brightness of the LED. In addition to the standard two UART pins (TX and RX), there are two GPIO/UART handshaking pins on the ToolStick Base Adapter that are connected to two port pins on the target microcontroller. ToolStick Terminal is used to configure and read/write these pins. Under the Pin State Configuration area in ToolStick Terminal, select the desired state from the drop-down menu, and click the Set Selected Pin States button. The firmware on the C8051F530 target microcontroller does not need to be customized to use the UART and communicate with ToolStick Terminal. The firmware on the microcontroller should write to the UART as it would in any standard application, and all of the translation is handled by the ToolStick Base Adapter. 6 Rev. 0.2 ToolStick-F530ADC 6. Using the C8051F530A Daughter Card as a Development Platform The prototyping area on the ToolStick C8051F530A Daughter Card makes it easy to interface to external hardware. All of the digital I/O pins are available, so it possible to create a complete system. 6.1. C8051F530A Pin Connections It is important to note that if external hardware is being added, some of the existing components on the board can interfere with the signaling. The following is a list of port pins on the C8051F530A that are connected to other components: P0.4, P0.5-These pins are connected directly to the ToolStick Base Adapter for UART communication. P1.2-These pins are connected directly to the ToolStick Base Adapter's GPIO pins. By default, these GPIO pins on the Base Adapter are high-impedance pins, so they will not affect any signaling. Configuring these pins on the Base Adapter to output pin or handshaking pins could affect signaling. P1.3-This pin is connected to the cathode of the green LED on the daughter card. The LED or the R2 resistor can be removed to disconnect the LED from the pin. P1.4-This pin is connected to the "S1" switch. The switch can be removed to disconnect them from the pin. P1.5-This pin is connected to the output of the potentiometer. R5 (a 0 resistor) can be removed to disconnect the potentiometer from the pin. See “7. C8051F530A Daughter Card Schematic” for more information. P1.1, 6.2. C2 Pin Sharing On the C8051F530A, the debug pins, C2CK, and C2D, are shared with the pins, /RST and P0.6, respectively. The daughter card includes the resistors necessary to enable pin sharing, which allow the /RST and P0.6 pins to be used normally while simultaneously debugging the device. See "AN124: Pin Sharing Techniques for the C2 Interface" at www.silabs.com for more information regarding pin sharing.
