Re: Need a compiler?????

Most discussions at edaboard are referring to the Keil C compiler. But it's not free and this isn't the place to suggest pirate software links.

You may however test a free evaluation version, but it's code size limited Keil 8051 Microcontroller Development Tools

The most popular free 8051 C compiler is SDCC, a gnu port. SDCC - Small Device C Compiler

Everyone apparently assumed, you would know that they share the same achitecture. 8051 is also used as a synonym for the 805x processor family.

No problem. The compiler will use include files (e.g. 8052.h) or other settings to know about the specific processor properties as memory sizes and special function registers.

ya got to know... but you can use c51 compiler with keil microvision2 from the keil website given by FVM... in that page select the evaluation software and then download c51 compiler and start working....

Re: Need a compiler?????

Hi,
You have to select which device you are going to program. In mikroC, you don't need to include any headers or anything. See the list of selected devices here:
mikroC PRO for 8051 2009 - C compiler for 8051 microcontroller - mikroElektronika

Hope this helps.
Tahmid.
