C8051F580DK C8051F580 DEVELOPMENT KIT USERS GUIDE 1. Relevant Devices The C8051F580 Development Kit is intended as a development platform for the microcontrollers in the C8051F58x/59x MCU family. The members of this MCU family are: C8051F580, C8051F581, C8051F582, C8051F583, C8051F584, C8051F585, C8051F586, C8051F587, C8051F588, C8051F589, C8051F590, and C8051F591. The target board included in this kit is provided with a pre-soldered C8051F580 MCU (QFP48 package) and a C8051F582 (QFN32 package). Code developed on the C8051F580 can be easily ported to the other members of this MCU family. Refer to the C8051F58x/59x data sheet for the differences between the members of this MCU family. 2. Kit Contents The C8051F580 Development Kit contains the following items: C8051F580 Target Board C8051Fxxx Development Kit Quick-Start Guide Silicon Laboratories IDE and Product Information CD-ROM. CD content includes: Silicon Laboratories Integrated Development Environment (IDE) Keil 8051 Development Tools (macro assembler, linker, evaluation C compiler) Source code examples and register definition files Documentation C8051F580 Development Kit Users Guide (this document) AC to DC Power Adapter USB Debug Adapter (USB to Debug Interface) Two USB Cables 3. Getting Started The necessary software to download, debug, and communicate with the target microcontroller is included in the CD-ROM. The following software is necessary to build a project, download code to, and communicate 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: Configuration Wizard 2 Keil uVision Drivers CP210x USB to UART Virtual COM Port (VCP) Drivers Rev. 0.1 11/08 Copyright 2008 by Silicon Laboratories C8051F580DKC8051F580DK 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 PCs 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 C8051F580 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 theInstall CP210x Driver option is selected during installation, a driver unpacker utility will launch. 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 VCP Driver Installer option if you are ready to install the driver. 3. If selected, the driver installer will now launch, providing an option to specify the driver installation location. After pressing the Install button, the installer will search your system for copies of previously installed CP210x Virtual COM Port drivers. It will let you know when your system is up to date. The driver files included in this installation have been certified by Microsoft. 4. If the Launch the CP210x VCP Driver Installer option was not selected in step 3, the installer can be found in the location specified in step 2, by default C: SiLabs MCU CP210x Windows 2K XP S2K3 Vista. At this location, run CP210xVCPInstaller.exe. 5. To complete the installation process, connect the included USB cable between the host computer and the USB connector (P5) on the C8051F580 Target Board. Windows will automatically finish the driver installation. Information windows will pop up from the taskbar to show the installation progress. 6. If needed, the driver files can be uninstalled by selecting Silicon Laboratories CP210x USB to UART Bridge Driver Removal option in the Add or Remove Programs window. 4. Software Overview 4.1. Silicon Laboratories IDE The Silicon Laboratories IDE integrates a source-code editor, a source-level debugger, and an in-system Flash programmer. See Section 6.Using the Keil Software 8051 Tools with the Silicon Laboratories ID on page 5 for detailed information on how to use the IDE. The Keil Evaluation Toolset includes a compiler, linker, and assembler and easily integrates into the IDE. The use of third-party compilers and assemblers is also supported. 4.1.1. IDE System Requirements The Silicon Laboratories IDE requirements: Pentium-class host PC running Microsoft Windows 2000 or newer. One available USB port. 4.1.2. Third Party Toolsets The Silicon Laboratories IDE has native support for many 8051 compilers. The full list of natively supported tools is: Keil IAR Raisonance Tasking Hi-Tech SDCC Please note that the demo applications for the C8051F580 Target Board are written to work with the Keil and SDCC toolsets. 2 Rev. 0.1
