SONiX SN8F5940 Series Starter Kit
Product Information
The SN8F5949 Starter-Kit is an easy-development platform that includes the SN8F5940 family real chip and I/O connectors for input signals or driving user application devices. It serves as a simple platform for application development when the target board is not available. The Starter Kit can be used as a replacement for the target board because the SN8F5940 family integrates an embedded ICE in-circuit debugger circuitry.
Development Environment
The SN8F5949 debug tool works with Keil C51, which includes an integrated development environment (IDE, Keil Vision), C51/A51\ compilers, and BL51 linker. For detailed documentation, refer to the SN8F5000 Debug Tool Manual available for download on the manufacturer’s website.
Setup Instructions for Development Environment
- Confirm that all elements on the circuit board are complete.
- Choose the power source for the Starter-Kit circuit from 5.0V, 3.3V, or an external power supply via jumper.
- If using 5.0V or 3.3V power source, connect it to a DC 7.5V power adapter.
- If selecting the external power source, connect it to the EXT pin.
- Connect the XIN and XOUT pins with crystal/resonator oscillator components when setting the timer clock to X’tal or T0 Timer setting RTC mode.
- The Debug port can be connected to the SN-LINK adapter for emulation or code download purposes.
- The MCU LED will illuminate, and the SN8F5940 family chip will be powered when VDD is switched on.

Overview of Starter Kit
SN8F5949 Starter-Kit provides easy development platform. It includes an SN8F5940 family real chip and I/O connectors to input signal or drive device of user’s application. It is a simple platform to develop applications as target board not ready. The Starter-Kit can be replaced by target board because the SN8F5940 family integrates embedded ICE in-circuit debugger circuitry.
Development Environment
SN8F5949 debug tool cooperates with Keil C51 which includes integrated development environment (IDE, Keil μVision), C51/A51 compliers and BL51 linker. See detailed documentation of SN8F5000 Debug Tool Manual (download on www.sonix.com.tw).
Development Environment
These configurations must be setup completely before starting Starter-Kit developing.
- Confirm to the circuit board whether the elements are complete.
- The power source of the Starter-Kit circuit is chosen from 5.0V, 3.3V or external power via jumper.
- The power source comes from 5.0V or 3.3V which must be connected to DC 7.5V power adapter.
- If the power source is chosen from external power, then the external power source connects to EXT pin.
- The “XIN” pin and the “XOUT” pin need to connect crystal/resonator oscillator components when timer clock is setting X’tal or T0 Timer setting RTC mode.
- The Debug port can connect SN-LINK adapter for emulation or download code.
- The MCU LED will light up and the SN8F5940 family chip will be connected to power when power (VDD) is switched on.
