I was thinking of using the UART and terraterm to show the status of
all the registers, in 0/1 and the LCD for some sort of menu

You could write up a little interpreter/debugger to do it.

Just been handed a possible job that requires a encoder IC to be set
up via SPI, about 20 r/w 8 bit registers. I'm going to use a 8052
with a 2 line LCD that's memory mapped, just because I have a couple
of boards lying around
I'll add a few buttons, but I was wondering if there is any neat way
of organising the code (in C ) to play around with the registers
while prototyping ( mucking around, really)
