INTEGRATING KEIL 8051 TOOLS INTO THE SILICON LABS IDE
Introduction
This application note describes how to integrate the
Keil 8051 Tools into the Silicon Labs IDE
(Integrated Development Environment). It applies
to Version 1.4 of the Silicon Labs IDE. Integrating
Keil 8051 Tools into the Silicon Labs IDE provides
an efficient development environment with
compose, edit, build, download and debug
operations integrated into the same program.
Key Points
• The Intel OMF-51 absolute object file generated
by the Keil 8051 tools enables source-level
debug from the Silicon Labs IDE.
• Once Keil Tools are integrated into the IDE
they are called by simply pressing the ‘Assemble/
Compile Current File’ button or the ‘Build/
Make Project’ button.
• The generation of debug information and object
extensions must be enabled in the Keil 8051
tools to support source-level debug using the
Silicon Labs IDE.
• See the “Cygnal\Examples” directory for examples
created for use with the Keil tools.
