5. Software Setup using a ToolStick Debug Adapter

The Silicon Laboratories Integrated Development Environment (IDE), along with other software tools, are provided for device development and debugging. The IDE is available for download from the Silicon Laboratories website and is also available on microcontroller development kit CD-ROMs. Once the IDE has been installed and the hard- ware has been connected as shown in Section 4, follow the steps below to built a project, connect and download to a target board using the ToolStick Debug Adapter.

1.	Select Project → Open Project... to open a previously
	saved project.
2.	Before connecting to the target device, several connection
	options may need to be set. Open the Connection Options
	window (shown in Figure 6) by selecting Options →
	Connection Options... in the IDE menu.
3.	Select USB Debug Adapter in the “Serial Adapter” section.
4.	If more than one adapter is connected, choose the
	appropriate serial number from the drop-down list.
5.	Next, the correct “Debug Interface” must be selected. Check
	the Debug Interface corresponding to the Silicon
	Laboratories device on the target board.
6.	Once all the selections are made, click the OK button to
	close the window.
7.	Click the Connect button in the toolbar or select Debug →
	Connect from the menu to connect to the device.
8.	Download the project to the target by clicking the Download
	Code button in the toolbar.
9.	Save the project when finished with the debug session to	Figure 6. Connection Options
	preserve the current target build configuration, editor settings

and the location of all open debug views. To save the project, select Project → Save Project As... from the menu. Create a new name for the project and click on Save.
