2K Code - how much of a limit is that?

Andrew Neil

The free Evaluation version of the Keil tools has a 2K limit on generated code size.

Just wondering: how much can you actually achieve in 2K on an 8051?
I'm sure there must be a number of worthwhile projects which could be completed inside 2K.

Anyone care to share any examples?

    Hi Andrew!

    I think, there are many little things that can be accomplished within 2k of code memory. Sure, it will be hard to implement a huge amount of testing routines via the serial interface. Some simple motor controllers (like for inside a car) should be easily fit in there, but then I think, people would rather use other processors, because an 80c51 environment might be a bit over the top.

    Hey, I have written really nice little programs working within the 3.5k of RAM of the Commodore VIC20 :))

    Take care
