C8051T620/2-DK
6 Rev. 0.4
The Configuration Wizard 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 language.
For more information, refer to the Configuration Wizard 2 help available under the Help menu in Configuration
Wizard 2 or refer to the Configuration Wizard 2 documentation. Documentation and software are available on the
kit CD and from the downloads webpage: www.silabs.com/mcudownloads.
5.4. Keil uVision2, uVision3, and uVision4 Silicon Laboratories Drivers
As an alternative to the Silicon Laboratories IDE, the µVision debug driver allows the Keil µVision2, µVision3, and
µVision4 IDEs to communicate with Silicon Laboratories’ on-chip debug logic. In-system Flash memory
programming integrated into the driver allows for rapid updating of target code. The µVision2, µVision3, and
µVision4 IDEs can be used to start and stop program execution, set breakpoints, check variables, inspect and
modify memory contents, and single-step through programs running on the actual target hardware.
For more information, refer to the µVision driver documentation. The documentation and software are available on
the kit CD and from the downloads webpage: www.silabs.com/mcudownloads.
5.5. Programming Utilities
The Silicon Labs IDE is the primary tool for downloading firmware to the MCU during development. There are two
software programming tools that are intended for use during prototyping or in the field: the MCU Production
Programmer and the Flash Programming Utilities. The MCU Production Programmer is installed with the IDE to the
directory, C:\Silabs\MCU\Utilities\Production Programmer\ (default). The Flash Programming Utilities can be
optionally installed from the CD and are installed to C:\Silabs\MCU\Utilities\FLASH Programming\ (default).
5.6. ToolStick Terminal
The onboard debug circuitry provides both an in-system programming and debugging interface and a
communications interface to the target microcontroller's UART. The ToolStick Terminal software can access the
debug hardware's communications path and provides a terminal-like interface on the PC. Note that for concurrent
debugging and UART communications, the CP2103 USB-to-UART bridge is also included onboard.
In addition to the standard terminal functions (Send File, Receive File, Change Baud Rate), two GPIO pins on the
target microcontroller can be controlled using the terminal for either RTS/CTS handshaking or software-
configurable purposes. The ToolStick Terminal software is available on the downloads webpage: www.silabs.com/
