Programming 8051 Using Keil Software

The document discusses how to program an 8051 microcontroller using Keil software. It describes downloading and installing Keil, creating a new project to select the microcontroller device, writing code for blinking an LED, building the project to check for errors, setting clock speed options, and generating a hex file that can be uploaded to the microcontroller to run the program. The code provided blinks an LED connected to port P2.0 by turning it on and off with 500ms delays in an infinite loop.

Programming 8051 using Keil Software

In this section we will see how to write and execute programs for 8051 microcontroller using the Keil
Software.

Download Keil
Here is the download link of Keil. You can download it and install it very easily. We are using C51 version
for 8051 devices.

Use Keil to write programs for 8051 Microcontroller


Start the Keil software. Go to the Project > New Project then choose a location to store your
program, and give a name and Save.

Now in the next window select the device from different manufacturers. We are selecting
Microchip, and then by expanding we are selecting AT89C51 device and click ok.

Now go to the New in the menu and select New. It will open a new editor to write code.

Go to the save option and save the program file with .c extension.

Write the code for 8051 Microcontroller. (Here we are using a code for blinking LED in 500 ms)

Now from the left panel, select Source Group 1, and Add Existing Files to Group ‘Source
Group 1’. Then select the program (c file) then add and close

Now go to the Project > Build Target to build the project. If there is some error the building will be
failed, after correcting the errors it can be build.

Now click on the Target1 from the left panel and select Options for Target ‘Target1’. Then set the
xtal (MHz) value to 11.0592. Check mark on the Use On Chip ROM. Then go to the output tab. In
this tab check Create Hex File, and click OK. Then build it again.

By uploading this hex file into the 8051 microcontroller the program can be loaded into it. And it will work.

Here we have used the following code −

#include<reg51.h>
sbit LED_pin = P2^0; //set the LED pin as P2.0

void delay(int ms){


unsigned int i, j;
for(i = 0; i< ms; i++){ // Outer for loop for given milliseconds value
for(j = 0; j < 1275; j++){ //execute in each milliseconds
;
}
}
}

void main(){
while(1){ //infinite loop for LED blinking
LED_pin = 0;
delay(500); //wait for 500 milliseconds
LED_pin = 1;
delay(500); //wait for 500 milliseconds
}
}
