hello,
i have a question for you guys. i use the Keil uVision4 software and want to translate a c-file or an assembler file to a hex-file. is this possible?
Thanks
Yes, that is the whole point of the toolset!
You will, of course, need the appropriate toolset for the architecture you are useing: http://www.keil.com/product/
and what exactly do i need? i have the: PK51 Professional Developer's Kit is it enough to translate the code into a hex-file? its the first time for me...
You have the tools - now you need to learn to use them!
For that you will, obviously, have to study the Manuals. The online copies currently seem to be broken: http://www.keil.com/c51/man/c51.htm
So you'll have to study the ones in your installation.
Here are some booklists: http://www.keil.com/books/8051books.asp http://www.8052.com/book/ www.8052.com/.../174564
To understand how the 8051 architecture works, you will need to study the so-called "bible" for the 8051 - links here: www.8052.com/.../120112
There's also a tutorial here: http://www.8052.com/tutorial
Now they seem to be back: http://www.keil.com/support/man_c51.htm
In particular, be sure to work through the tutorial examples: http://www.keil.com/support/man/docs/uv4/uv4_ex_hello.htm
