5.1. 8051 Evaluation Toolset
The Silicon Labs IDE has native support for many third party 8051 toolsets. Included with this kit are several 8051
evaluation assembler, compiler, and linker toolsets. For further information on the tools, including limitations, see
the corresponding application note. Application notes can be found in the documentation section of the
Development Kit CD, or on the Silicon Labs website (http://www.silabs.com/appnotes). See Table 1 for a list of
supported toolsets and associated application notes.
5.2. Silicon Labs IDE
The Silicon Labs IDE integrates a source-code editor, source-level debugger and in-system programmer. The
following sections discuss how to open an example project in the IDE, build the source code, and download it to the
target device.
5.2.1. Running the Fxxx_Blinky example program
The Fxxx_Blinky example program blinks an LED on the target board.
