Still wondering about Supplied Libraries with C51

I am still hoping someone can educate me on what I get when purchasing the C51 development package. After reviewing the online manuals, it appears that the libraries supplied are rather limited. For instance, I see no reference to a library that will support the standard time.h functions. Is this correct? It appears that the ARM development toolset has time.h libraries but not C51. I would appreciate someone informing me of whether these additional libraries may be obtained directly from Keil or do I need to contact a third-paty?

Thanks
Jim

  • You understand that Keil has direct sa1es and support methods?

    Where would "time" be coming from? As I recall the 8051 does not include an RTC.

    Seem to remember the "time" functionality on the ARM being somewhat empty too, or require board/system level support, either to pull from and RTC, or advance the time.

    Standard time.h functionality is pretty easy to chase down in the internet era. What you're really buying is a toolchain with compiler, linker, etc.

    What kind of development in 2019 really focuses on the 8051, pretty sure from a tool vendor perspective the well is getting rather dry, so expect current mindshare to be elsewhere nowadays.
