T oolS tick-F321DC 2 Rev. 0.1 2. Content s The T oolS tick-F321DC kit contain s the following items: T oolS tick C8051F321 Daughter Card A T oolS tick daughter car d requires a T oolS tick Base Adapter to communicate with the PC. T oolS tick Base Adapters can be purchased at www .
T oolS tick-F321DC Rev. 0.1 3 4. Getting St arted The necessary sof tware to download, debu g and communicate with the t arget microcontroller must be do wnloaded from www .
T oolS tick-F321DC 4 Rev. 0.1 5.2. Keil Demonstration T oolset 5.2.1. Keil Asse mbler and Link er The Keil demonstration toolse t assembler and linker place no restrictions on code size.
T oolS tick-F321DC Rev. 0.1 5 5.4. Keil uV ision2 and uVisi on3 Silicon Labor atories Drivers As an alternative to the Silicon Labo ratories IDE, the uVisi on debug driver allows the Keil uVision2 and uV ision3 IDEs to communicate with Silicon La boratories on-chip debug logic.
T oolS tick-F321DC 6 Rev. 0.1 6. T oolStick C8051F321 Daughter Card Features Demo The T oolS tick kit includes a few simple code exampl es. The example descri bed in this section is titled F321DC_Feature sDemo .
T oolS tick-F321DC Rev. 0.1 7 6.2. Connecting to the Device and Downloading Firmware This section describe s how to open the IDE, open a nd build a project, connect to a device and down load the firmware. 1. Open the Silicon Lab oratories IDE from the Star t → Programs → Silicon Laboratories menu.
T oolS tick-F321DC 8 Rev. 0.1 6.4. Viewing and Modifying Registers All registers on the device can be viewed and modified wh en th e device is in a halted state . The registers are grouped to gether acco rding to which pe ripheral o r part of hardware they belong.
T oolS tick-F321DC Rev. 0.1 9 6.5. Enabling and Using W atch Windows The Debug Windows in th e View menu are u sed to view and modify hardware register s. T o view and modify variables in code, the IDE pr ovides W atch Windows. Just as with regist er debug windows, variables in the watch windows are updated each time the device is halted.
T oolS tick-F321DC 10 Rev. 0.1 6.6. Setting and Running to Breakpoint s The Silicon Laboratories microcontroller devices support up to four hardw are breakpoints. A breakpoint is associated with a specific line of code. When the proc essor reaches a hardware breakpoin t, the code execution stops, and th e IDE refreshes all debug and watch window s.
T oolS tick-F321DC Rev. 0.1 11 6.7. Single-Stepping Through Firmware The IDE supports the ability to single-step through firmware one assembly instruction at a ti me. The IDE reads the Flash from the device , converts the instructions to assembly and displays them in a disassembly window .
T oolS tick-F321DC 12 Rev. 0.1 6.8. Using T oolStick T erminal This section describes how to use T oolS tick T erminal to communi cate with UART from th e PC to the daughter card through the T oolS tick Base Adapter . 1. If the Silicon Laboratories IDE is o pen, close the IDE.
T oolS tick-F321DC Rev. 0.1 13 7. Additional Demo Example In addition to the F321DC_Featur esDemo example firmware, the T oolS tick download p ackage also includes a demo project named F321 DC_HIDMouse.wsp . The instructions for running this de mo can be found at the top of the source file.
