Diff between AVR & 8051 architecture..

[naga5]

Hai guys,
I am in my B.Tech Electronics.
We covered 8051 in our course and i worked on a small project using AT89S52,
but that is of 8051 architecture.
And i want to start programing with ATMEGA8, but that seems to be different.
Can u plz help me wer to start with?????????????:grin::grin:

Hi,
Check this site:
mikroElektronika - AVR Compilers
Installing this software you can see a lot of examples.
Be successful.

Hi,

Get datasheets for both and study their architectures then you will be able to know the difference between them.

Hi,

The Wikipedia Atmel AVR does a good comparison of both architectures. And as previously mention by my esteemed colleagues have pointed out download the datasheets or particular family guides for a real comparison.

Good Luck

avrfreaks.net has lot of tutorials and examples.

Hi,
If you have used 8051 then you're familiar with programming. So, you should download the datasheet and if you go through it, it shouldn't take you much time to port your knowledge to ATMEGA8. As stated, AVR Freaks has plenty of info and tutorials. You should also choose your required compiler and language and I recommended mikroC or mikroBASIC. These come with plenty of examples and tutorials.

Hope this helps.
Tahmid.

Thanks alot guys,
i am currently having keil v.4 and proteus,
do i need avr studio for compiling,,,

Hi,
Here is a list of microcontrollers supported by keil:
List of Chips Supported by Keil

It does not list AVR chips as supported chips, so you need another compiler, be it AVR Studio, mikroC, mikroBASIC, CodeVision or whatever.

Hope this helps.

Better to stick with AVR Studio.

Freeware from atmel itself

Support winavr (AVR GCC Compiler).
