1. Purpose
Thank you for your interest in Silicon Laboratories Si4010 simplified key fob demo. The Silicon Laboratories Si4010
simplified key fob demo kit contains everything you need to familiarize yourself with and evaluate the Si4010 RF
SoC. The kit has two versions: one for the 434 MHz band and one for the 868 MHz band. The key features of the
development platform are as follows:

The key fob demo board has five push buttons and one LED output.
The receiver demo board has four LEDs to display received key fob commands.
 The provided software pack contains all the documentation and files needed to develop a user application. The
kit supports the use of the Silicon Laboratories Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for software
debugging and the use of the Keil C compiler, assembler, and linker toolchain.
 Contains demo applications using API functions and the key fob demo application.

3. Key Fob Demo
The 4010-DAPB key fob transmitter and the 4313-DAPB receiver are the transmit and receive devices used in the
key fob demo. This transmit/receive pair can be used to evaluate the capabilities of the Si4010 transmitter and the
Si4313 receiver.
The first step is to insert the CR2032 battery into the 4010-DAPB demo board and then place the board with the
battery into the plastic key fob case. Next, insert a battery in the 4313-DAPB receiver board and turn it on using the
switch on the board. The key fob first transmits an RF packet nine times (each time a button is pressed), and it also
blinks the LED. The packet structure is as follows:
Button1 .. AA AA AA AA 2D D4 D7 28 D7
Button2 .. AA AA AA AA 2D D4 F5 0A F5
Button3 .. AA AA AA AA 2D D4 5F A0 5F
Button4 .. AA AA AA AA 2D D4 7D 82 7D
Button5 .. AA AA AA AA 2D D4 FF 00 FF
(Then, the key fob also transmits two other packets appropriate for Silicon Labs Si4311 and Si4312 receiver demo
boards.)
The first four bytes are preamble, the next two is the sync word and the last three are the button info. Therefore if
any key pressed on the key fob, a combination of LEDs will light up on the Receiver Board according to the button
info part of the packet. The structure of the packets is detailed below:

The structure of the Function Control Byte is shown below. For each LED output there are two bits assigned to
define their mode of operation:

OUT3 / F1 sent out first, OUT0–OUT3 represent the four LED outputs, F0–F1 represents the function bits.
Output functions controlled by the function bits are the followings:

Mono-stable mode will be restarted as long as the proper Function Control Byte is received.

The code used in the transmitter of this key fob demo application can be found in the documentation kit in the
\Si4010 projects\rke_demo folder.
It is advised to first study the simple example program “keyfob_demo”, which generates the same packets needed
for the Si4313 LED demo receiver board. For details about programming the Si4010, see the following
documentation:

Copy the directory structure in a directory of your choice. It is recommended to keep the structure of the
Si4010_projects folder to allow the compiler to find the Si4010 common files. Each project has a *.wsp project file
in the bin folder that contains all the settings of the IDE for the project, including the relative path of the common
files.

5. Siicon Labs IDE Run
Download the SiLabs IDE (Integrated Dvelopment Environment) from
http://www.silabs.com/products/mcu/Pages/SiliconLaboratoriesIDE.aspx and install it on your computer. To run the
Silicon Labs IDE, open the *.wsp project file.
6. Keil Toolchain Integration
The project files in examples assume that the Keil toolchain is installed to: C:\Keil directory. The location of the Keil
toolchain can be easily changed in the Silabs IDE in the Project—Tool Chain Integration menu. An evaluation
version of the Keil toolchain can be downloaded from the Keil web site, http://www.keil.com/. This free version has
2 kB code limitation and starts the code at 0x0800 address. The Keil free evaluation version can be unlocked to
become a 4k version with no code placement limitation by following the directions given in application note “AN104:
Integrating Keil 8051 Tools into the Silicon Labs IDE”, which covers Keil toolchain integration and license
management. Unlock code can be found on the WDS CDROM in the root folder in the Keil_license_number.txt file.
Contact your Silicon Laboratories sales representative or distributor for application assistance.
