Special Instructions.
Compilation must be performed on the DOS command line. If you do not have a shortcut to this program, you can run it by selecting Run... from the Windows Start menu and typing command and clicking OK. Inside this window you can change to the directory of your source files by using the cd command, e.g.
Code:
cd "c:\Documents and Settings\Owner"
You can run the compiler from any directory with a command similar to:
Code:
"c:\Program Files\HI-TECH Software\HC51\pro\9.70\bin\c51" –-help
assuming you have installed the compiler in the default location. The command above will run the compiler and show a list of all command-line options. You can get further information on an option by using help option itself. If you run the compiler and use
Code:
"c:\Program Files\HI-TECH Software\HC51\pro\9.70\bin\c51" --help=chip
for example, you will see detailed information regarding the chip option.
To compile a project you will need to indicate to the compiler which device you are using and supply a list of all the source files, e.g.
Code:
"c:\Program Files\HI-TECH Software\HC51\pro\9.70\bin\c51" --chip=c8051f338 main.c extra.c
will compile and link the two source files main.c and extra.c in the one step. You will need to specify the device you are using -- use the chipinfo option to see the full list of supported devices. The above command will result in an output file main.omf, which can be loaded into the IDE.
Open the Silicon Labs IDE. You do not need to have a project open. Select the Download Object File... menu item from the the Debug menu. In this dialog, select the OMF file that has been created by the compiler. This file will be in the same directory as the source files, assuming you compile as per the above example. Once the file is loaded, you can run the program in the usual way.
If you have any problems with the instructions above please contact support@htsoft.com.
