Newbie: How do I download through jtag to Silabs c8051f02? Or can it only be done via serial port through Monitor 51? Thanks.
I see an app not from SiLabs AN104 Integgrating Keil 8051 Tools into the Silicon Labs IDE. Is Keil preferred over the SDCC? I was talking to someone who was not that thrilled with the SDCC integration with SiLabs IDE.
Is Keil preferred over the SDCC? Well, this IS a Keil site, so - of course Keil is preferred. There is not much thrilling about SDCC but the price. You get what you pay for. I was talking to someone who was not that thrilled with the SDCC integration with SiLabs IDE. The SDCC/Linux/"Acme" camp has the expectation that everybody adapt to use their stuff. 90% of serious '51 developers users use Keil or Raisonance, so to expect SILabs to invest in supporting the last 10% is not reasonable, not to mention that they need all they have to fix the many bugs in what they have.

Thanks Erik!
As Erik points out, go to the Silabs web site in the Download folder and download the Keil uV2 driver package. Install the package. After you install, you will see a SiLabs driver in addition to the Keil Mon51 driver in the Debugger. You can also use this driver to just download your program files via the Keil IDE. I believe you wrote that you had a SiLabs eval package that will interface to the Keil IDE. If not, do as Erik suggests. Buy a simple eval package that will contain the EC2, cables and drivers. Even if you have an eval package, I suggest that you vist the SiLabs web site for the new drivers just released on 09/06/2005. Bradford
Just got the driver an hour ago. This is just what I was looking for. Can't wait to get off work and try it. Thanks.
