These development kits provide support for Silicon Labs’:

• Integrated Development Environment (IDE)
  
• Keil 8051 Development Tools
  
• Configuration Wizard 2
  
• Keil uVision Drivers
  

The boards also include several code examples to exercise different hardware features of the C8051F96x family (e.g., AES block, dc-dc converter, LCD driver, etc.). The examples are portable code modules which may be easily used as a starting point for customer code.

LCD boards are recommended for debug purposes during development even if the final design does not require integrated LCD. The UPPI-series evaluation cards are the engine of an MCU-based system – they contain an MCU, optional radio and minimal support circuitry.
