I have been using the Keil compiler for a few years, since I did a job for a friend's company where they wanted code developed on the Keil system. Since they paid for it, price was not a problem. Now I want to start a project where the chip (Atmel T89C5115) that I want to use is not supported. I am assuming that the only way to get the Keil system to support that chip is to upgrade . . . true? What other options are there for a compiler and simulator? I don't mind paying something for it, maybe a couple of hundred even, but can't afford or justify $1,000+. Thanks, Scott Kelley
where the chip (Atmel T89C5115) that I want to use is not supported Disclaimer: General statement, not specific Keil statement. For ages, I have not relied on any compiler manufacturers "support" of a given chip. I have found too many errors in SFR addresses and what not. As a result I do not know if the chips I program with the Keil compiler/assembler are supported by Keil. So if the chip you are discussing is a '51 derivative go ahead and make your own SFR definition file. Happy compiling Erik
