4. Getting Started
The necessary software to download, debug and communicate with the target microcontroller must be downloaded
from www.silabs.com/toolstick. The following software is necessary to build a project, download code to, and
communicate with the target microcontroller:
The Keil Demo Tools include a compiler, assembler, and linker. See Section 5.2.2 for more details about the demo
tools. ToolStick Terminal communicates with the target microcontroller's UART through the ToolStick Base Adapter.
It can also read/write the two GPIO pins available on the ToolStick Base Adapter.
Other useful software that is provided on the Silicon Labs Downloads (www.silabs.com/mcudownloads) website
includes:
All of the above software is described in more detail in Section “5. Software Overview”.
To simplify the download process, the necessary software described above is provided in two download packages.
The ToolStick Download package includes the Keil Tools, example code, documentation including User’s Guides
and data sheets, and the ToolStick Terminal application. The IDE, Configuration Wizard 2, and the Keil uVision
Drivers are available as separate downloads. After downloading and installing these two packages, see the
following sections for information regarding the software and running one of the demo applications.
5. Software Overview
5.1. Silicon Laboratories IDE
The Silicon Laboratories IDE integrates a source-code editor, source-level debugger, and an in-system Flash
programmer. See Section “6. ToolStick C8051F336 Daughter Card Features Demo” for detailed information on how
to use the IDE. The Keil Demonstration Toolset includes a compiler, linker, and assembler and easily integrates
into the IDE. The use of other third-party compilers and assemblers is also supported.
5.1.1. IDE System Requirements
The Silicon Laboratories IDE requirements:
5.1.2. 3rd Party Toolsets
The Silicon Laboratories IDE has native support for many 8051 compilers. The full list of natively supported tools is:
Please note that the demo applications for the C8051F336 Daughter Card are written for the Keil toolset.
