Hello :)
I am new to 8051 family programming and I have a question. I would like to know if there is anyway, somehow, to put another software in a memory and load it from 8051 to run on it. It would work similar to plugins :)
Speaking in C language, it would be like a function inside the memory that do something. That function receives a pointer to a structure that has many other functions that the main software inside the microcontroller has, like display things on a screen. Well, is very similar to plugins :)
Is this possible? With other microcontroller maybe?
If I said something wrong or confuse please, let me know! Thank you!
An alternative when looking for development tools is to select a development board with uClinux already ported. Then you can get all software tools you need for free.
On the other hand, this may not match your intended problem.
