I would like to program an 8051 development board using Keil and was wondering if it was at all possible to send a hex file (flash the ucontroller) via the rs232 serial com port. Could anyone tell me the options for doing this? Thanks
Hi Erik, thanks for the response.
AT89S4051 is an ISP chip, so what would the change to the LPC's be necessary for? I gather you're familiar with Keil, let me see, when you click on Flash > Configure Flash Tools > Utilities, there is an option 'Use External Tool For Flash Programming' with a 'Command' text box which appears to let you open various files. Underneath this is an 'Argument' text box. do you know what these are used for, how they are implemented etc?

necessary, hardly. BUT if you do not want to use the Arghmel download cable, the NXP chips program through the UART which you (in most cases) will have intefaced to RS-232 anyhow.
when you click on Flash > Configure Flash Tools > Utilities, I would'nt have the foggiest Idea. While I use the Keil compiler/assembler/linker extensively. The IDE is totally incabable of doing what I need and thus I do not use it.

Thanks Erik
What software do you use to download the hex file onto the NXP chips. I believe FLIP doesn't support these chips.
