3. Getting Started
All software required to develop firmware and communicate with the target microcontroller is included in the CD-
ROM. The CD-ROM also includes other useful software.
Below is the software necessary for firmware development and communication with the target microcontroller:
Other useful software that is provided in the CD-ROM includes the following:
3.1. Software Installation
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. Refer to the ReleaseNotes.txt file on the CD-ROM for the latest information
regarding known problems and restrictions. After installing the software, see the following sections for information
regarding the software and running one of the demo applications.
3.2. CP210x USB to UART VCP Driver Installation
The C8051F360 target board includes a Silicon Laboratories CP2102 USB-to-UART Bridge Controller. Device
drivers for the CP2102 need to be installed before PC software such as HyperTerminal can communicate with the
target board over the USB connection. If the "Install CP210x Drivers" option was selected during installation, this
will launch a driver “unpacker” utility.
1. Follow the steps to copy the driver files to the desired location. The default directory is C:\SiLabs\MCU\CP210x.
2. The final window will give an option to install the driver on the target system. Select the “Launch the CP210x
3. If selected, the driver installer will now launch, providing an option to specify the driver installation location. After
4. If the “Launch the CP210x VCP Driver Installer” option was not selected in step 3, the installer can be found in
5. To complete the installation process, connect the included USB cable between the host computer and the USB
6. If needed, the driver files can be uninstalled by selecting “Silicon Laboratories CP210x USB to UART Bridge
