4.2.  Keil Evaluation Toolset

4.2.1. Keil Assembler and Linker

The assembler and linker that are part of the Keil Demonstration Toolset are the same versions that are found in
the full Keil Toolset. 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).

4.2.2. Keil Evaluation C51 C Compiler

The evaluation version of the C51 compiler is the same as the full version with these limitations: (1) Maximum 4 kB
code generation, and (2) Floating point library not included. When installed from the CD-ROM, the C51 compiler is
initially limited to a code size of 2 kB, and programs start at code address 0x0800. Please refer to the Application
Note “AN104: Integrating Keil Tools into the Silicon Labs IDE" for instructions to change the limitation to 4 kB, and
have the programs start at code address 0x0000.

4.3.  Configuration Wizard 2

The Configuration Wizard 2 is a code generation tool for all of the Silicon Laboratories devices. Code is generated
through the use of dialog boxes for each of the device's peripherals.

Figure 1. Configuration Wizard 2 Utility

The Configuration Wizard 2 utility helps accelerate development by automatically generating initialization source
code to configure and enable the on-chip resources needed by most design projects. In just a few steps, the wizard
creates complete startup code for a specific Silicon Laboratories MCU. The program is configurable to provide the
output in C or assembly. For more information, please refer to the Configuration Wizard 2 help available under the

Help

 menu in Config Wizard 2.
