HI All I've looked at Keil uVIsion (Trial Version) as well as Asem51v1.3 (old stuff). Any suggestions of the compiler software you're using to write/compile your code and create hex files to upload to the ATMEL microcontrollers. I would rather review a few other options, than to invest in the Keil software, only to discover afterwards that there are maybe better tools for the job (Apologies for my tenses/grammar - English is my second language) Kind Regards

And have you looked at other architectures? There a couple of dozen other cpu architectures that are better suited to C development than the 8051, and have better ranges of tools.

It's the compiler I use for 8 other processors, and I find it helps productivity to use the same set of tools on multiple projects even when the processor differs. -- Grant Edwards grante Yow!

In particular their simulator is really good. Allows device specific settings, so you can simulate the I/O on your chip. You can also have it use your PC serial port as the serial connection to the simulation. -- Scott Validated Software Lafayette, CO __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 4430 (20090916) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com

SDCC yes, GCC, as far as I know, no.Oops. I didn't realize the OP meant 8051. I assumed he meant AVR, AVR32, or ARM. To answer you question, there isn't an 8051 backend for gcc. -- Grant Edwards grante Yow! I'm shaving!! at I'M SHAVING!! visi.com
