A. Install Software
1
Install the Silicon Labs 8-bit
development software from the
included CD-ROM. The latest software
can also be downloaded from
www.silabs.com/8bit-software
At a minimum, the C8051F850DK requires
- Silicon Labs IDE
- Configuration Wizard 2
- Keil C51 Tools
- CP210x Drivers
2
Open the Silicon Labs IDE and ensure it’s
using the installed tools by going to the
Project Tool Chain Integration menu.
The Assembler (A51), Compiler (C51), and
Linker (BL51) each have separate tabs.
Note: This Development Kit includes a Product Serial Number that expands the 2 kB code-limited evaluation version of the Keil
tools to a full version with no code limit. Registration instructions can be found in the C8051F850DK User’s Guide and in Application
Note 104. This Keil tools upgrade process is not required to complete the steps listed in this document.

B. Hardware Setup
1
Connect the USB Debug Adapter to the
10-pin debug connector (J23) on the MCU
card using the 10-pin ribbon cable.
2
Connect the USB Debug Adapter to
the PC using the standard USB cable.
3
Move the SW1 VDD Select switch to the
top +3.3_VREG position.
The C8051F85x/86x Development Kits come with an MCU card, USB Debug Adapter, and all necessary cables and power supplies
needed to evaluate hardware and develop code.
4
Verify the JP2 Imeasure jumper is
populated.
5
Verify the J27 jumpers are populated,
connecting the LEDs, switches, and
potentiometer to port pins.
6
Power the MCU card through the power
connector (J6) using the supplied 9 V
ac/dc adapter.
