4. Software Overview
The included CD-ROM contains the Silicon Laboratories Integrated Development Environment (IDE), Keil software
8051 tools, Virtual COM Port drivers for the CP210x USB to UART Bridge, and additional documentation. Insert the
CD-ROM into your PC's CD-ROM drive. An installer will automatically launch, allowing you to install the IDE
software or read documentation by clicking buttons on the installation panel. If the installer does not automatically
start when you insert the CD-ROM, run autorun.exe found in the root directory of the CD-ROM. Refer to the
ReleaseNotes.txt file on the CD-ROM for the latest information regarding the CD contents.

4.2. CP210x USB to UART VCP Driver Installation
The C8051T630 Motherboard includes a Silicon Laboratories CP2103 USB-to-UART Bridge Controller. Device
drivers for the CP2103 need to be installed before PC software such as HyperTerminal can communicate with the
board over the USB connection. If the "Install CP210x Drivers" option was selected during installation, this will
launch a driver “unpacker” utility.
1. Follow the steps to copy the driver files to the desired location. The default directory is C:\SiLabs\MCU\CP210x.
2. The final window will give an option to install the driver on the target system. Select the “Launch the CP210x VCP Driver
3. If selected, the driver installer will now launch, providing an option to specify the driver installation location. After pressing
4. If the “Launch the CP210x VCP Driver Installer” option was not selected in step 3, the installer can be found in the location
5. To complete the installation process, connect the included USB cable between the host computer and the COMM USB
6. If needed, the driver files can be uninstalled by selecting “Silicon Laboratories CP210x USB to UART Bridge (Driver
4.3. Silicon Laboratories IDE
