Hi All, Now, when my Linux C2 programmer (http://www.ise.pw.edu.pl/~wzab/cygnal) works fine, it would be nice to add debugging support. However Silabs (formerly Cygnal) does not provide any information regarding C2 debugging protocol...

Hi I'm using a 80C51F302 Cygnal device and I have based the design on what I've read on the Cygnal site that C2 is the way to go for such a pin-limited device. Well in the forum on the site some have commented that the JTAG interface is vulnerable to noise and 4k7 pull-up/down are recommended. But using a low-power device and putting load resistors on the signals seems futile to me. If...

Hi all, Is there a good alternative for the cygnal processors? - In System Programmable - In Application Programmable - Small packages (footprints) available (like the MLP11) - Not to expansive development tools - Wide range family - Cheap (cheaper then the silabs) - Reliable (not the same flash problems as the Silabs) - It don't have to be 8051 cores.

I've prepared a very simplified evaluation board for the Silabs (formerly Cygnal) C8051F320 microcontroller. There is also a GPL Linux programmer available (with almost no hardware, connected to the LPT port). It is available at: http://www.ise.pw.edu.pl/~wzab/~cygnal/index.html Everything works perfectly with the free SDCC C compiler. I hope it can be useful for C8051F320 hobbyists. -- ...

My apologies if this topic has been beaten to a pulp, but my casual search has not yet led me to the answers I need. We have developed a small system based on the redoubtable Cygnal/SILabs C8051F311 processor. While all of the current functionality fits into the 16 KBytes of onboard FLASH, it's tight, and we are just one validated feature request from being out of luck. As a result, I'm...

What is the cheapest way to develop a USB device? The Cygnal F32x seems good for its on chip USB controller. But it needs the Keil tools which is expensive. Is there any USB tools(hardware/software) exsisted which is under $500 for 8 bit microcontroller like 8051,PIC, or AVR? For very low volume, I need low price development tools.
