MCU 8051 IDE - IDE for MCS-51 based microcontrollers

Saturday, 30 May 2009 20:00

MCU 8051 IDE is a fully featured integrated development enviroment for MCS-51 based microcontrollers MCU 8051 IDE is fully featured integrated development enviroment for MCS-51 based microcontrollers (e.g. AT89S8253) written in Tcl/Tk for POSIX systems only (like GNU/Linux). It consists of compiler, advanced text editor (highlighting, validation, completion), simulator, scientific calculator, hexeditor and many other things. Currently this program supports assembly language and C language for various MCUs (MicroController Unit), e.g.;

AT89S4051;
T83C5102;
TS87C52X2;
AT80C58X2;
TS80C54X2;
...and many others!

Some features are;

Editor with syntax highlight and validation;
8051 Assembler, Disassembler and Simulator;
Project management;
Hexadecimal editor for eXternal RAM and Code memory;
Graph showing voltage levels on ports;
Register watches;
Export to XHTML and LaTeX;
Conversions between IHEX8 and Binary;
...and many other things!

Moreover, to the download of it is possible to add also the following packages; plugin ssp (a.k.a. Simple Serial Programmer), Development boards that adds RS232 to TTL converter board (contains two MAX232 ICs to convert voltage levels of all TIA RS-232 signals from RS-232 to 5V CMOS logic) and FT232BM development board. Chip FT232BM (from FTDI) is quite popular USB to UART bridge. Such a board like this provides an easy way to develop an electronic design with FT232BM in your breadboard, etc. In other words, you can quite simply develop an USB application.
