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

&lt;i&gt;It would be so very, very nice if this forum could display the
IP of the posters. This forum is one of the worst when it comes to
aliases and faked posts.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.8052.com"&gt;http://www.8052.com&lt;/a&gt; run, in my opinion, the
best system in this respect.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;i&gt;Are you sure you want to learn 8051? 29 years old architecture
is now becoming obsolete.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
in recent years we have seen&lt;br /&gt;
* Cygnal (now SIlabs) starting up making uCs based on the &amp;#39;51
architecture&lt;br /&gt;
* IR making thir motor controllers based on the &amp;#39;51 architecture&lt;br /&gt;
* TI/BB and AD basing their ADC with uC on the &amp;#39;51 architecture&lt;br /&gt;
* Philips introducing (and NXP continuously expanding) the LPC9
series based on the &amp;#39;51 architecture.&lt;br /&gt;
* more ...&lt;br /&gt;
* more ...&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Learn modern computers, PIC, or Zilog&amp;#39;s Z80 (best micro I
worked with).&lt;br /&gt;
Build whatever and start with anything. They are definitively
better.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
what you mention is no more &amp;#39;modern&amp;#39; and no &amp;#39;better&amp;#39; than the &amp;#39;51. If
I were to suggest a starting point other than the &amp;#39;51 I&amp;#39;d definitely
say the ARM&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
&lt;i&gt;I had to learn 8051 architecture for my school exam, and it&amp;#39;s
sooooo limited, timers are restricted when using uart, clock cycle is
too long....&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
clock cycle of 10ns is too long?, 5 timers not enough? re SIlabs
F12x&lt;br /&gt;
it seems that your objection is due to you not bothering to
&lt;i&gt;really&lt;/i&gt; learn the &amp;#39;51&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;i&gt;Learn modern computers, PIC, or Zilog&amp;#39;s Z80 (best micro I
worked with).&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
Yes, the Z80 was a nice processor for it&amp;#39;s time. But it does not
feel like a processor I would recommend people to start working with
now.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
For small chpis, Atmel AVR, Microchip PIC, the 8051 family, Texas
MSP430 should be more suitable. Not because of their original design
year, but because of activity. As already noted, the &amp;#39;51 chips has a
large advantage for the multitude from different suppliers.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
If working with larger chips, ARM, PPC, x86, ... should be
suitable processor, with good software and hardware support.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;i&gt;&amp;quot;Are you sure you want to learn 8051? 29 years old architecture
is now becoming obsolete. Learn modern computers, PIC, or Zilog&amp;#39;s
Z80&amp;quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
There are certainly no signs of the 8051 becoming obsolete - and
the PIC and Z80 are of similar vintage.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
With PIC and Z80, you are tied-in to a single manufacturer; with
8051s, you have literally hundreds of sources to choose from - and
you can get FPGA cores to make your own.&lt;/p&gt;

Yes, Keil produce &amp;#39;C&amp;#39; compilers - see:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.keil.com/product/"&gt;http://www.keil.com/product/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
As to whether &lt;i&gt;you&lt;/i&gt; will be able to use them - that&amp;#39;s another
matter!&lt;br /&gt;
It will certainly require &lt;i&gt;you&lt;/i&gt; to apply a lot more thought
&amp;amp; effort than you&amp;#39;ve shown so far!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;:-(&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
However, as far as I know, there is no GCC support for the 8051 -
for that, you need SDCC:&lt;/p&gt;

a) camve manras is not a &amp;#39;bot that will auto-respond as soon as
you post anything. This is a forum. Never expect people to answer
just because you want them to.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
b) camve manras claims that Watcom can be used for 8051 procesors.
However, it is quite unlikely that there are any ongoing freeware
work building a new backend to the Watcom compiler. As a long-time
owner of the Watcom compiler (the original commercial version) I know
that the Watcom compiler supports just about any x86 platform. The
8051 processor is not part of the x86 platform. You can&amp;#39;t just add a
plugin to a compilar to make it support a different processor
architecture. Adding a new back-end to a compiler is a huge job. gcc
is one of the few compilers out there that does support a multitude
of processors, and if you look at the code you will notice how hard
work that is!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
Don&amp;#39;t confuse Watcom (the compiler) with a number of available
IDE. An IDE can be loosely coupled with compilers, which for example
mean that the Code::Blocks IDE has support for a huge number of
different compilers. A number of IDE allows the addition of a plugin
to support a new compiler.&lt;/p&gt;

The Watcom compiler is not a Keil product - so this is not the

&lt;i&gt;&amp;quot;You can write a 8051.c file or library for watcom.&amp;quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
You can write it, but it will &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;not&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; run on an
8051!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: 8051 Newbie</title><link>https://community.arm.com/thread/113709?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 27 Feb 2008 02:01:52 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">dd9e70c8-6d3c-4c71-b136-2456382a7b5c:61139544-a9b7-4704-98c8-b7e35686ce18</guid><dc:creator>Andy Neil</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
The Watcom &lt;b&gt;Manuals&lt;/b&gt; are here:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.openwatcom.com/index.php/Manuals"&gt;www.openwatcom.com/.../Manuals&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
The &lt;i&gt;Getting Started&lt;/i&gt; guide is here:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.openwatcom.org/ftp/manuals/1.5/c_readme.pdf"&gt;www.openwatcom.org/.../c_readme.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
It says:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&amp;quot;Watcom C/C++ is a professional, optimizing, multi-platform C
and C++ compiler with a comprehensive suite of development tools for
developing and debugging both &lt;b&gt;16-bit and 32-bit applications for
DOS, extended DOS, Novell NLMs, 16-bit OS/2, 32-bit OS/2, Windows
3.x, Windows 95/98/Me, Win32s, and Windows NT/2000/XP
(Win32)&lt;/b&gt;.&amp;quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
So the answer to your question is, as previously stated: &lt;b&gt;No, it
does &lt;i&gt;not&lt;/i&gt; support the 8051!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
The &lt;i&gt;Getting Started&lt;/i&gt; guide also says:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&amp;quot;You should &lt;b&gt;read the entire contents of this booklet&lt;/b&gt;, as
it contains information on new programs and modifications that have
been made since the previous release.&amp;quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

You can write a 8051.c file or library for watcom.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
I think you can search on m*crosoft and find example code.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
