3. Software Setup
The included CD-ROM contains the Silicon Laboratories Integrated Development Environment (IDE), Keil software
8051 tools and additional documentation. Insert the CD-ROM into your PC’s CD-ROM drive. An installer will
automatically launch, allowing you to install the IDE software or read documentation by clicking buttons on the
Installation Panel. If the installer does not automatically start when you insert the CD-ROM, run autorun.exe found
in the root directory of the CD-ROM.
4. Silicon Laboratories Integrated Development Environment (IDE)
The Silicon Laboratories IDE integrates a source-code editor, source-level debugger, and in-system Flash pro-
grammer. The use of third-party compilers and assemblers is also supported. This kit includes the Keil Software
A51 macro assembler, BL51 linker and evaluation version C51 C compiler. These tools can be used from within the
Silicon Laboratories IDE.
4.1. System Requirements
The Silicon Laboratories IDE requirements:
4.2. Assembler and Linker
A full-version Keil A51 macro assembler and BL51 banking linker are included with the kit and are installed during
IDE installation. The complete assembler and linker reference manual can be found on-line under the Help menu
in the IDE or in the “SiLabs\MCU\hlp” directory (A51.pdf).
4.3. Evaluation C51 C Compiler
An evaluation version of the Keil C51 C compiler is included with the kit and is installed during IDE installation. The
evaluation version of the C51 compiler is the same as the full professional version except code size is limited to
2 kB and the floating point library is not included. The C51 compiler reference manual can be found under the Help
menu in the IDE or in the “SiLabs\MCU\hlp” directory (C51.pdf).
4.4. 3rd Party Toolsets
The ToolStick demos are written for the Keil toolset that is provided on the CD. The Silicon Laboratories IDE has
native support for many other 8051 compilers. The full list of natively supported tools is:
5. Blink_LED Demo
The ToolStick kit includes two simple code examples. The first example is titled Blink_LED. The purpose of this
example is to guide a new user through the features and capabilities of the IDE and demonstrate the
microcontroller’s on-chip debug capabilities. The Blink_LED example code alternately turns on the red and green
LEDs on the ToolStick board. The following steps describe how to connect and download the firmware, view and
modify registers, use watch windows, use breakpoints, and single step through code.
