arduino-silabs-falsh-tool

A tool to use an Arduino board for programming Silabs 8-bit 8051 MCU's.

The Software consists of to parts:

1. The Firmware for the arduino, which talks to the D2 Interface of the Silabs MCU
2. The Flash tool which writes the intel hex file to the Silabs MCU

Building the firmware

Dependencies

• avr-libc
• binutils-avr
• gcc-avr
• avrdude

Linux

cd firmware
./build

then connect the arduino

edit 'flash' file ... replace '/dev/ttyACM0' with the serial port the ardunino is connected to replace the baud rate with the one which fits for your arduino

./flash

Windows

TODO

Building the flash tool

Dependencies

• Arch Linux
• base-devel
• qt4
• qt-creator (optional for development)
• Debian + Ubuntu
• build-essential
• libqt4-dev
• qt-creator (optional for development)
• Windows
• Qt SDK with MinGw (not tested)

Linux

cd SiArduFlash
qmake # use qmake-qt4 instead if other versions of qt are installed besides qt4
make

Alternative: use qtcreator

Windows
