Example firmware source code as well as a pre-built .HEX image are available from the Si1120-EK web page at
http://www.silabs.com/products/sensors/infraredsensors/Pages/si1120ek.aspx. The prebuilt .HEX image can be
downloaded directly into the C8051F930 target board. The firmware source code and an example IDE project are
configured to use a default path of C:\SiLabs\Optical_Sensors/Si1120/Firmware. Follow the steps below to update
or refresh the .HEX image in the C8051F930-TB:
