Hi friends
I know C programig (Only TURBO C) and 8051 (worked on Atmel chips) .I have heard that there is something called cross compilers which convert C prog into assembly (8051 compatible ) language .Is it true ?If yes where can i get those cross compilers from ?
Also plz help me how to start out using cross compilers
Thanks in advance
Take care bye...
 

A cross compiler is simply a program which runs on a computer (often a PC) and produces code for something else - ALL C compilers for micro-controllers are cross compilers. Likewise all assemblers are cross assemblers, so just search for C compilers for your chosen processor, I don't use the 8051 so I've no idea if you can download free compilers or not, or if you have to buy them.
 
There are a couple free 8051 C compilers out there - they take a bit of searching to find though. Keil has a free 2Kbyte limited eveluation of their compiler that should work for small projects.

I think the Keil C51 is rather optimized. You could actually do quite a lot of thing with this 2kB
 
If you can afford the chips Silicon Labs 8051s are excelent controllers. They have built in JTAG emulation which makes debuging much easier. They also provide a 4K limited Keil compiler and easy to use development software.
