4.3. CP210x USB to UART VCP Driver Installation
The C8051F800 Target Board includes a Silicon Labs CP2103 USB-to-UART Bridge Controller. Device drivers for
the CP2103 need to be installed before PC software such as HyperTerminal can communicate with the target
board over the USB connection. If the "Install CP210x Drivers" option is selected during installation, a driver
“unpacker” utility will launch.
1. Follow the steps to copy the driver files to the desired location. The default directory is C:\SiLabs\MCU\CP210x.
2. The final window will give an option to install the driver on the target system. Select the “Launch the CP210x
3. If selected, the driver installer will now launch, providing an option to specify the driver installation location. After
4. If the “Launch the CP210x VCP Driver Installer” option was not selected in step 3, the installer can be found in
5. To complete the installation process, connect the included USB cable between the host computer and the USB
6. If needed, the driver files can be uninstalled by selecting “Silicon Labs CP210x USB to UART Bridge Driver

5.1. Silicon Labs IDE
The Silicon Labs IDE integrates a source-code editor, source-level debugger and in-system programmer. The use
of third-party compilers, assemblers, and linkers is also supported. This development kit includes evaluation
versions of commercial C compilers and assemblers which can be used from within the Silicon Labs IDE.
5.1.1. Third Party Toolsets
The Silicon Labs IDE has native support for many 8051 compilers. Natively-supported tools are as follows:

pressing the “Install” button, the installer will search your system for copies of previously installed CP210x
Virtual COM Port drivers. It will let you know when your system is up to date. The driver files included in this
installation have been certified by Microsoft.
