I want to buy an evaluation board for my masters project.
1. The programming should be stored in flash not EEPROM. 2. The compiler should be launched from command line (passing the source code file as parameter) 3. The uploading the resulting object code to the evaulation board should be via command line (i.e. no visual interface because the source code files will be sent for compilation over internet). 4. and preferably it should be 8051.
is this possible with any of the evaluation boards/emulators available here?
"2. system user will connect to the host pc..."
What/who is the "system user"?
"...send the source code files via internet for compilation..."
Why would you want to send the source files for remote compilation?
Surely, it'd be far better for the developer to do the build locally on his/her own machine, and just send the resulting executable image for downloading?
This is going to be a very cumbersome way to develop 8051 applications!
With the enormous price (not!) of evaluation boards, it is quite common that the universities lends out evaluation boards, so that students can sit at home and develop their applications.
Then it is enough to either upload the final binary or to travel to the university and on-site demonstrate the completed project.
The only time when this concept does not work, is when using commercial licenses that requires onsite usage. But in that case, the license may already forbid the sharing of a single computer by a large number of students.
Don't Keil do special deals for educational institutions...?
Even if Keil don't, I'm sure others do...
Or, if compiler cost is such an issue, how about SDCC - it's free! http://sdcc.sourceforge.net/
