one place.
Once Simplicity Studio is installed, the application itself can be used to install additional software and
documentation components to aid in the development and evaluation process.
The following Simplicity Studio components are required for the C8051F330 Development Kit:
 8051 Products Part Support

Once installed, run Simplicity Studio by selecting Start
from the start menu or clicking the Simplicity Studio shortcut on the desktop. Follow the instructions to install the
software and click Simplicity IDE to launch the IDE.

process of configuring the build tools and SDK selection.
In the Part Selection step of the wizard, select from the list of installed parts only the parts to use during
development. Choosing parts and families in this step affects the displayed or filtered parts in the later device
selection menus. Choose the C8051F33x family by checking the C8051F33x check box. Modify the part selection
at any time by accessing the Part Management dialog from the Window
