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?
Andy, I am very disappointed to read your comment "There's still plenty of old crocks out there" ... I am sure Andy refer to the antique 'devboards' with 8255s on them that some 'schools' use to give the poor sods totally worthless knowledge.
erik, Thank you for the kit. I think this is exactly what I was looking for. I will contact them and keep you updated. you are welcome
Bradford, slow down.. what is EC2? what is OP? EC2 is a SILabsa debug adaptger, OP is the "Original Poster"

Andy, Sorry for the misunderstanding.. actually, I didn't know what does "crock" mean? so I looked it up in the dictionary and I was frustrated to see it means "old useless man".
Erik, Thanks for the clarifications.
"Old Crock" refers to something old-fashioned.
Yes, it could be used of a person - but I was using it of boards that persist in using old technology that doesn't support in-system programming, and other such features that would be necessary to your goal.
Sorry for the confusion.
