Will the Keil ULINK2 work with the 8051 processor NXP P80C32SBPN? Concern is the 8051 is an old microprocessor and doesn't support a lot of the debug features of newer processors (eg. JTAG).
I would guess that it doesn't support any of the debug features of newer processors.
If you want to know for sure, the Datasheet will tell you what (if any) debug features it does provide...
... the debugging tools available were an ICE or a "debug monitor".
since the chip stem from that time period this is the answer.
why not just use a modern chip, trying to use this antique will cost you far more than a modern chip

Many thanks Erik. The processor is designed into almost all of our products (see Foxmeter.com), so it would be prohibitive to change now. Our new products are designed around more modern hardware. We have never had an emulator and we are hoping to save some time when customizing/updating software.
Then, surely, you must be thoroughly familiar with its capabilies by now...?!
"hoping to save some time when customizing/updating software"
How about taking something like an SiLabs chip (with on-board debug), making a little plug-in module, and using that - with all its visibility, debugability, etc - during your "customizing/updating"?
That would be, literally, an in-circuit emulator!
There'd be a bit of a learning curve as you find what's transferrable, and what really has to be done on the real target - but I'd think there should be a worthwhile benefit to be had?
PS
Are you still able to get reliable supplies of them?
