Keil 8051 Tools Into the Silicon Labs IDE" in the "SiLabs\MCU\Documentation\Appnotes" directory on the CD-
ROM for additional information on using the Keil 8051 tools with the Silicon Laboratories IDE.
To build an absolute object file using the Silicon Laboratories IDE project manager, you must first create a project.
A project consists of a set of files, IDE configuration, debug views, and a target build configuration (list of files and
tool configurations used as input to the assembler, compiler, and linker when building an output object file).
The following sections illustrate the steps necessary to manually create a project with one or more source files,
build a program and download the program to the target in preparation for debugging. (The IDE will automatically
create a single-file project using the currently open and active source file if you select Build/Make Project before a
project is defined.)
4.4.1. Creating a New Project
→
1. Select Project
→
2. Select File New File to open an editor window. Create your source file(s) and save the file(s) with a rec-
ognized extension, such as .c, .h, or .asm, to enable color syntax highlighting.
3. Right-click on "New Project" in the Project Window. Select Add files to project. Select files in the file
browser and click Open. Continue adding files until all project files have been added.
4. For each of the files in the Project Window that you want assembled, compiled and linked into the target
build, right-click on the file name and select Add file to build. Each file will be assembled or compiled as
appropriate (based on file extension) and linked into the build of the absolute object file.
Note: If a project contains a large number of files, the "Group" feature of the IDE can be used to organize.
Right-click on "New Project" in the Project Window. Select Add Groups to project. Add pre-defined
groups or add customized groups. Right-click on the group name and choose Add file to group. Select files
to be added. Continue adding files until all project files have been added.
4.4.2. Building and Downloading the Program for Debugging
1. Once all source files have been added to the target build, build the project by clicking on the Build/Make
Project button in the toolbar or selecting Project
Note: After the project has been built the first time, the Build/Make Project command will only build the
files that have been changed since the previous build. To rebuild all files and project dependencies, click
on the Rebuild All button in the toolbar or select Project
2. Before connecting to the target device, several connection options may need to be set. Open the
Connection Options window by selecting Options
the appropriate adapter in the "Serial Adapter" section. Next, the correct "Debug Interface" must be selected.
C8051F36x family devices use the Silicon Labs 2-wire (C2) debug interface. Once all the selections are
made, click the OK button to close the window.
3. Click the Connect button in the toolbar or select Debug
4. Download the project to the target by clicking the Download Code button in the toolbar.
Note: To enable automatic downloading if the program build is successful select Enable automatic con-
nect/download after build in the Project
build process, the IDE will not attempt the download.
5. Save the project when finished with the debug session to preserve the current target build configuration,
editor settings and the location of all open debug views. To save the project, select Project
As... from the menu. Create a new name for the project and click on Save.
