Code Creation Wizards for SiLabs' Microcontrollers

The Crossware Code Creation Wizards simplify and accelerate the creation of C source code for the on-chip peripherals of a SiLabs variant.

The Wizards are able to create configuration code to configure the peripheral, application code to operate the peripheral, code to configure the interrupt controller for the peripheral and outline interrupt handlers for the peripheral.

The Wizards take two forms:

• GUI Wizards which present a point and click graphical interface to the user
• Context Wizards which present a point and click interface to a list of named registers and named bits

Take a look at the SiLabs tutorial videos to see both types of Wizards in action.

Graphical Code Creation Wizards

Graphical Code Creation Wizards are opened using the Wizards item on the the main menu bar. The image on the left shows the Wizards menu for the SiLabs C8051F391 variant.

Except for the Headers item and the Reset All Wizards item all of the these Wizards are specific to the SiLabs variant that has been selected for the project.

Context menu Code Creation Wizards

Context menu Code Creation Wizards are opened by clicking on a source code view with the right mouse button. The context menu is displayed typically as shown below. Again this example is for the SiLabs C8051F391 variant.
