3. Software Overview
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:
Silicon Laboratories Integrated Development Environment (IDE)
Keil 8051 development tools (macro assembler, linker, evaluation C compiler)
Other useful software that is provided in the CD-ROM includes the following:
Configuration Wizard 2
Keil µVision drivers
CP210x USB to UART Virtual COM Port (VCP) drivers
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 C8051F930 Target Board includes a Silicon Laboratories CP2103 USB-to-UART Bridge Controller. Device
drivers for the CP2103 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.
