3. ToolStick Overview
The purpose of the ToolStick is to provide a development and demonstration platform for Silicon Laboratories
microcontrollers and to demonstrate the Silicon Laboratories software tools, including the Silicon Laboratories
Integrated Development Environment (IDE).
The ToolStick development platform consists of two components: the ToolStick Base Adapter and a daughter card.
The ToolStick Base Adapter provides a USB debug interface and data communications path between a Windows
PC and a target microcontroller. The Base Adapter is powered from USB and also provides power to the daughter
cards.
The target microcontroller and application circuitry are located on the daughter card. Some daughter cards, such
as the C8051F330 daughter card, are used as general-purpose development platforms for the target
microcontrollers and some are used to demonstrate a specific feature or application.
Figure 3 shows the ToolStick Base Adapter and identifies the various components.
