Hi, I just completed a course on 8085 microprocessor.
Now i want to start learning 8051. Is the background of 8085 enough for 8051 or do i need to learn more before starting 8051? Also which is the best book to start with ? what tools/software/hardwares do i need ? and where do i start
from? Please guide me...
If u want to compile programs for the microprocessor only ie which runs under 8085 and 8051 use c .But if u want to compile programs which runs under windows and microprocessors use watcom c compiler it has ide compiles and program's with same compiler its is free.
camve,
thanks for your good answer. i will now look at c and watcom.
As explained, Watcom will be of no use for the 8051!
carve,
i see watcom and i like llook.you know is there a 8051 class for the watcom?
doe it work with
You cannot use the Watcom C compiler to produce output that runs on a '51.
You can write a 8051.c file or library for watcom.
I think you can search on m*crosoft and find example code.
"You can write a 8051.c file or library for watcom."
You can write it, but it will not run on an 8051!
