As part of the Silicon Labs IDE install there is a c:\Silabs\MCU\Examples directory that is created. This directory has examples for all of the peripherals for all of the MCUs. One example that is provided with each device is a blinky.c project. This is a great way to test the tool flow to verify that code can be written and compiled. Also, it can verify that the IDE can connect to the device, download the code and debug the application. Once the blinky.c project has been verified the user can start developing custom applications. Notice that this test has been run using the daughter card with the C8051F34A device using the code from the C8051T620 directory. As mentioned, code from one device can run on the others.
