The firmware on the C8051F582 target microcontroller does not need to be customized to use the UART and
communicate with ToolStick Terminal. The firmware on the microcontroller should write to the UART as it would in
any standard application and all of the translation is handled by the ToolStick Base Adapter.
7. Additional Demo Examples
In addition to the F582DC_FeaturesDemo example firmware, the ToolStick download package also includes a
demo project named F582DC_ADC0_TemperatureSensor. The instructions for running this demo can be found at
the top of the source file. The project and source files for these demos can be found in the
C:\SiLabs\MCU\ToolStick\F582DC\Firmware\ folder.
8. Using the C8051F582 Daughter Card as a Development Platform
The prototyping area on the ToolStick C8051F582 daughter card makes it easy to interface to external hardware.
All of the digital I/O pins are available so it is possible to create a complete system.
8.1. C8051F582 Pin Connections
It is important to note that if external hardware is being added, some of the existing components on the board can
interfere with the signaling. The following is a list of port pins on the C8051F582 that are connected to other
components:

8.2. C2 Pin Sharing
On the C8051F582, the debug pins, C2CK, and C2D, are shared with the pins /RST and P3.0 respectively. The
daughter card includes the resistors necessary to enable pin sharing, which allow the /RST and P3.0 pins to be
used normally while simultaneously debugging the device. See Application Note “AN124: Pin Sharing Techniques
for the C2 Interface” at
9. Information Locations
Example source code is installed by default in the “C:\SiLabs\MCU\ToolStick\F582DC\Firmware” directory during
the ToolStick installation.
Documentation
C:\SiLabs\MCU\ToolStick\Documentation and the C:\SiLabs\MCU\ToolStick\F582DC\Documentation directories.
The installer for the ToolStick software is available at www.silabs.com/toolstick.
P0.0—This pin is connected to a 1.0 uF capacitor, which serves as a decoupling capacitor for the on-chip
voltage reference. The capacitor C3 can be removed to disconnect it from the pin.
P0.4, P0.5—These pins are connected directly to the ToolStick Base Adapter for UART communication.
P0.6, P0.7—These pins are connected to the TXD and RXD pins of the CAN transceiver. The CAN transceiver
can be removed to disconnect it from the pins.
P1.0, P1.1—These pins are connected directly to the ToolStick Base Adapter’s GPIO pins. By default, these
GPIO pins on the Base Adapter are high-impedance pins so they will not affect any signaling. Configuring these
pins on the Base Adapter to output pin or handshaking pins could affect signaling.
P1.2—This pin is connected to the anode of the green LED on the daughter card. The LED or the R2 resistor
can be removed to disconnect the LED from the pin.
P1.3—This pin is connected to the output of the potentiometer. The 0 ohm resistor R5 can be removed to
disconnect the potentiometer from the pin.
P1.4—This pin is connected to the P1.4 switch. The switch can be removed to disconnect it from the pin.
P1.5—This pin is connected to the mode select pin on the CAN transceiver. The CAN transceiver can be
removed to disconnect it from the pins.
