SDBC-DK3 UG C8051F930 WIRELESS SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT KIT USERS GUIDE 1. Introduction The Silicon Labs Wireless Product Software Development Board, MSC-DBSB8, is designed to help engineers develop code for the Silicon Lab s EZRadio and EZRadioPRO wireless products using the Silicon Labs C8051F9xx microcontroller platform. The C8051F9xx Wireless Software Development Board (MSC-DBSB8) is designed for code development. A second platform, the WDS Loadboard, may also be purchased allowing for exhaustive RF lab based testing. The Loadboard can be bought under the part number MSC-DKLB2 but also within the ISM-DK3 kit. Figure 1. MSC-DBSB8 Figure 2. MSC-DBLB2 (Not Included) Software Development Board (SDB) Testing Platform for controlled Lab Tests (Loadboard) Both boards come with the Silicon Labs standard 40-pin socket for connecting standard EZRadio and EZRadioPRO evaluation testcards such as the Si4432-DKDB1. The onboard C8051F930 comes preloaded with sample firmware to demonstrate a packet-based wireless link between two systems. The MSC-DBSB8 C8051F9xx software development board includes: One 40-pin socket for EZRadio and EZRadioPRO testcards C8051F930 microcontroller preloaded with demonstration software Standard debug connector for Silicon Labs C8051 programming and debugging 4 buttons and 4 LEDs for custom purposes LCD display for setup parameters and information display RS232 interface via a 9-pin DSUB male connector USB type B connector with Silicon Labs CP2102 USB > Serial Converter onboard On board 3.3 V PSU 5 x 19 through hole breadboard area for customer s application Rev. 0.4 8/09 Copyright 2009 by Silicon Laboratories SDBC-DK3 UGSDBC-DK3 UG 2 Rev. 0.4
