We have created by far the most sophisticated development system for 8051 microcontrollers on the planet. It is all about power beauty and quality. It’s just jawdropping.
This board is a full-featured development environment for Silicon Labs C8051Fxxx microcontrollers. It has numerous on-board modules that help you to create your prototype device easily. It comes with C8051f040 microcontroller.
Board can be programmed using USB Debug Adapter - programmer.
All microcontroller pins are available through IDC10 port connectors, so you can easily attach other peripherals to your board.
Board has a magnificent set of on-board modules: Serial Ethernet, Serial Flash, Serial RAM, Serial EEPROM, MMC/SD card, CAN, USB-UART, two RS-232 connectors, and more.
Provided MCU card contains powerful C8051F040 MCU. It is a 25 MIPS, 64 kB Flash, 100-Pin Mixed-Signal MCU, with 12-bit DAC, CAN, SM-Bus and other peripherals.
We have put a lot of thought into the board design to make it beautiful and compact, and we used only the highest quality SMD components for production.
We have equipped the board with four serial memory modules including EEPROM, RAM, Flash and MMC/SD mass storage, so you won’t lack memory any more.
System comes with fast USB Debug Adapter - programmer from Silicon Laboratories.The USB Debug Adapter provides the interface between the PC’s USB port and the C8051Fxxx’s in-system debug/programming circuitry.
Drivers and Software for the programmer, as well as User Manual can be found on folowing locations:
* mikroElektronika 8051 compilers currently do not support hardware debugging.
BIG8051 development system fully supports following 8051 microcontrollers from Silicon Laboratories:
All examples are written in our PRO compilers for 8051: mikroC, mikroBasic and mikroPascal.

Using the on-board
power supply unit is the most
reliable way to power the board
You can power the board in two ways, depending on power consumption of used on-board or additional modules.
USB-UART connector can be used to provide the power to the board. You should be able to run all on-board modules, including GLCD display and Ethernet. You should know that you can draw maximum of 500mA from the PC USB port.
This is the best and most reliable way to power the board. You can provide enough power to utilize all on-board modules and extra boards you need.
