8051 Microcontroller

Introduction:       If you are looking for a beginners guide on “ How to start with 8051 Microcontroller ”, here in this article I will show you how to work with 8051 microcontroller practically. I am not going into detail of “What is 8051 microcontroller”  or “How to write a c-program” etc., but the scope of this article is to tell about the hardware and software which are needed to work with microcontroller and how to use them.       To get started with designing mega projects or electronics innovation the understanding of basic and simple projects is important. This will get familiarized with 8051 Microcontroller and also the designing environment. LED Interface with 8051 is one of the basic projects.  Therefore, shall be looking at the very basic project, which is interfacing LED with 8051 and then moving towards mega projects.

Before starting with 8051 we need to know few things Introduction: 8051 microcontroller can be programmed in two languages Assembly language C language 8051 microcontroller popular development IDE is MCU 8051 IDE and µVision to develop code. Keil µVision IDE consists, C Compiler - C51.Exe Assembler - A51.Exe Linker/Locator - BL51.Exe Librarian - LIB51.Exe Hex Converter - OH51.Exe Compiler: A compiler is a computer program (or a set of programs) that transforms the source code written in a programming language (the source language) into another computer language (normally binary format). The most common reason for conversion is to create an executable program. The name "compiler" is primarily used for programs that translate the source code from a high level programming language to a low-level language (e.g., assembly language or machine code). Cross-Compiler: If the compiled program can run on a computer having different CPU or operating
