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:
Simplicity Studio
Keil C51 Tools
ToolStick Development Tools
The software described above is provided in the Simplicity Studio and 8-bit microcontroller studio download
packages. The
ToolStick Development Tools
selection includes example code specifically for the ToolStick
daughter card, documentation including user’s guides and data sheets, and the ToolStick Terminal application.
After downloading and installing these packages, see the following sections for information regarding the software
and running one of the demo applications.
5. Software Overview
Simplicity Studio greatly reduces development time and complexity with Silicon Labs EFM32 and 8051 MCU
products by providing a high-powered IDE, tools for hardware configuration, and links to helpful resources, all in
one place.
Once Simplicity Studio is installed, the application itself can be used to install additional software and
documentation components to aid in the development and evaluation process.
