How can I create *.obj and *.bin files !!!!!!!!

S. Don

How can I create obj files and binary file from *.c and *.a51 files.
I tried C51 command and L51 command from C>\C51\Bin\C51 func1.c func2.c
Is there any parameters go with the commands and the file name in the command line.

    Read the manuals!
    They're all available in PDF on the free CD!

    \Keil\C51\HLP\C51.pdf
\Keil\C51\HLP\A51.pdf
    Or do it via the uVision GUI.

    I do have time to write a code, but I do
    n't have time to read these five books(manuals). I'll look for the CD if I still have it somewhere. But I thought Keil is straight forward like the others. But can't you give me the procedure to generate the *.bin file.

    Thanks

    You won't get very far if you don't take the time to read those manuals!
    Keil has many extensions to ANSI C to make best use of the limited 8051 resources, and the huge variety of different variants; and they aren't all intuitive! ;-)

    "I thought Keil is straight forward like the others"

    Just the list of command-line options is 2 pages - and that's nothing compared to Borland, MSVC, and others!

    For command-line invocation, see:
    p4 in the "C51 Compiler User's Guide 03.2000" - C51.pdf
    p179 in the "Macro Assembler and Utilities for 8051 and Variants User's Guide 07.2000" - A51.pdf

    Assumption:

    You have a single C file (main.c).

    C51 main.c
BL51 main.obj
OH51 main

    The C51 command line creates main.obj which is a relocatable OMF51 object module.

    The BL51 command line creates main (.nothing) which is an absolute OMF51 object module.

    The OH51 command line creates an main.hex which is an Intel HEX file.

    To create a BINARY file, refer to the following knowledgebase entry:

    Andrew,

    I've just got to say that I truly admire your patience. I've observed your consistent feedback to others, referring them to specific manual sections, excerpts, etc. Just looking things up for posters has to take some of your (undoubtedly) valuable time.

    When it's one of those questions where *my* response to them would be to "Please read the manual!" (but that would be unkind, so I don't respond), you go above an beyond the call of duty. Kudos to you!

    I'm not specifically responding regarding this particular thread. It's just that the run of this kind of query must have reached a threshold with me. All I have to say is that folks here should be more thankful that they have someone like you that is willing to tell them where they should have *already* looked.

    Keep up the good work!
