2. About the Daughter Boards

The C8051T620 and C8051T622 Development Kits include an Emulation Daughter Board (EDB) and a QFN Socket Daughter Board (QFN-DB). The EDB has an installed C8051F34A device, which is a Flash-based device that can be used for the majority of C8051T62x/32x code development. The QFN-DB is intended to allow both programming and system-level debugging of C8051T62x/32x devices directly.

A C8051T62x/32x device cannot be erased once it has been programmed; so, it is advisable to use the C8051F34A for the majority of code development. Refer to “AN368: Differences between the C8051F34A and the C8051T62x and C8051T32x Device Families” for more details on how the C8051F34A can be used to develop code for the C8051T62x/32x device families.
