#158662 - Just a little searching
Responding to: ???'s previous message

What does the Target / Prototyping board contain ? When do you use it ? I have tried searching the whole of the Silabs site for a detailed description of the same, but could not find it.

Really?!

The SiLabs description of the DK says,

The C8051F020DK Development Kit includes:
IDE and Product Information CD-ROM, which includes the following:

Silicon Laboratories Integrated Development Environment (IDE)

Source code examples and register definition files

Documentation

Configuration Wizard

Third Party Tools and Documentation CD

Target/Prototyping PCB (C8051F020TB)

Wall mounted universal power supply

USB debug adapter

USB cable

https://www.silabs.com/products/mcu/Pages/C8051F020DK.aspx

So it seems pretty clear to me that the C8051F020TB is the actual board with the C8051F020 on it - no?

I find that the TB is generally 50% the cost of a DK

Hardly surprising when you look at the list above and see what the DK includes in addition to just the TB, eh?!


and so am interested to know if I can use it for one off projects.

Why ever not - if it meets your requirements!?

There was a thread on this a while back
