1 Total Development Solution for the 8051 Unleash the power of the 8051 The 8051 Toolset The TASKING software development toolset for the 8051 provides a complete and cost-effective solution for programming the 8051 family of microcontrollers. The complete toolset consists of a C51 compiler, Intel compatible assembler, linker/locator, librarian, CrossView Pro debugger and EDE our embedded development environment. The Embedded Development Environment The Embedded Development Environment (EDE), voted by EETimes Best Technology, is a single, easy to use interface, that integrates the members of the 8051 toolset enabling you to edit, build and debug your embedded applications. EDE provides the following: Integrated tools delivering a rapid edit-compiledebug process Easy project setup with generation of Makefiles Push button control over a variety of development tasks Language sensitive editor with error parser Access to third party tools EDE is project oriented, helping you organize your work by grouping together all the files associated with your project, handling dependencies, and identifying the 8051 as well as the tool options. The C Compiler Unlike other 8051 C compilers the TASKING 8051 C compiler has been designed and built specifically for the microcontroller architecture of the This means that you can access all the special features of the 8051 in C, without violating the ANSI standard, such as: Multiple address spaces (with full pointer support), Bit memory, Special function registers (I/O ports), Interrupt functions using bank switching, User in-line C functions (create Features Total integrated development environment Tight and seamless navigation Tailorable to your working environment Visual point & click interface Highly optimized compiler Kernel aware debugging Available on Windows 3.1, Windows 95/NT, UNIX (SUN and HP9000) your own in-line functions) and much more. General features of our C compiler include: Full ANSI C to ensure early error detection Complete 8051 family support derivative is switch selectable In-line functions and in-line assembly Single precision floating point Generates Intel compatible assembly source Outputs symbol information for debugging Complete C and runtime library support Generates reentrant

2 and relocatable code and data Full Intel OMF-51 and IEEE-695 v4.1 object format to ensure interoperability with third party debuggers and emulators Intelligent configuration of startup code User controlled mapping of code and data Data Types All ANSI types are supported. In addition to these types, _bit, _sfrbyte and _sfrbit are added. The keywords _sfrbyte and _sfrbit are available to access special function registers which deal with I/O. SFR s are treated like memory mapped variables declared with the volatile type qualifier. Memory Models The C compiler supports 4 different memory models. The memory model determines the default memory type for variables declared with no explicit memory type, pointers and function parameters and automatics. These models can be used separately or mixed (per function) to ensure the best possible code generation. Parameter Passing The C compiler passes up to three parameters in CPU registers. You can control parameter passing with a command line option and for each function separately using the _regparm and _cdecl function qualifiers. If no registers are available for parameter passing or too many parameters are involved or you disable register passing, fixed memory locations or the virtual stack are used. The latter can be controlled with the _small, _auxpage, _large, and _reentrant function qualifiers which, if used, gives mixed memory model programming. Passing parameters in CPU registers in combination with mixed memory model programming significantly improves the performance of the application. Built-in Functions Built-in functions generate in-line (faster) code to perform the library function and utilize certain 8051 instructions which do not have an equivalence in C. Interrupt Functions A C function can be declared to serve as an interrupt service routine. You can specify the interrupt number and the register bank selection via the _interrupt and _using function qualifier. The compiler emits the corresponding interrupt vector and the appropriate entry and exit code (using the RETI instruction). Switch Statement The C compiler supports three different methods for implementing a switch statement. You can control how the Efficiency Very efficient pointer arithmetic In-line assembly Extremely fast parameter passing between functions and automatic variables using CPU registers Fast 8 bit arithmetic, including true char and _bit type parameters Built-in functions to access special 8051 instructions compiler should optimize the switch statement with a #pragma. By default the compiler chooses the smartest implementation, depending on the amount and contents of the case statements. Multiple Datapointer Support The toolset has support for 8051 derivatives with multiple datapointers, such as the AMD 80C521, the Dallas 80C320/520/530, the Siemens C500 family and the Philips variants 80C51/52/54/58, 83C51Fx and 83C575. To build an application for a specific derivative, the user simply selects this Multiple Datapointer derivative from a predefined list within EDE. Libraries The compiler is delivered with libraries for all memory models. The libraries include ANSI C libraries, run time libraries including I/O calls (+ printf), memory management, arithmetic functions and floating point (for both internal and external RAM). Source code is provided for most of the library routines allowing you to tailor the libraries to your specific application. The Assembler The TASKING assembler is an integral part of the toolset and translates 8051 assembly language into relocatable object code. The assembler accepts Intel compatible assembler source programs and produces relocatable (.obj) object files. An absolute or executable load image is then obtained by using the linker/locator. Features of the assembler include: Produces relocatable object code and listing files Accepts Intel compatible source programs

3 Compatible with high level and assembly level debuggers Optimizes jmp/call instructions Supports segment overlay at the assembly level Intel compatible macro preprocessor Extensive segment directives Error file with textual error reporting Linker/Locator The linker/locator is an essential part of the software building process that enables you to configure the code to match your target environment. The linker/locator brings together all the necessary relocatable objects, including library modules, resolves external references and then locates the modules in memory according to your specification. Features include: Intel compatible linker controls Accepts object files and object libraries in the Intel OMF-51 file format Supports absolute Intel OMF-51 and IEEE-695 object formats Automatic segment overlaying using call graph information from the compiler and assembler Absolute map files and diagnostic messages Automatic inclusion of library modules Map listing to help with debugging CrossView Pro Debugger An easy-to-use interface with powerful and extensive debugging features help you debug your applications faster. CrossView Pro is a true windows application complete with multiple, resizable, and independently controlled windows. It combines the flexibility of the C language with the control of code execution found in assembly language bringing functionality that reduces the time spent testing and debugging. Functionality includes: tracking scope and monitoring locals intelligent source window double click and right mouse button support You choose the windows you need to view the different aspects of your code during debugging. Source Window The working window is the source window. It lets you view source, set and clear breakpoints, assertions and code coverage markers, monitor and inspect variables, search for strings, functions, lines and addresses, call functions, evaluate expressions, and view performance analysis data. The source window allows you to view your code at C level, assembly level or mixed level, where you have your C code intermixed with the corresponding assembly code. From the source window you can jump directly into the editor within EDE and you will find yourself positioned at the source line where you had your cursor in the debugger. This gives you immediate access to the source line where you have found a problem, that you want to correct. Multiple Data Windows Data windows enable you to watch or show data, browse for locals or globals, double-click to modify values or to expand and contract complex data structures. Within these windows you can reformat (change display radix and type) on an element-by-element basis. You can show or watch locals from any stack level, automatically track and display locals, and easily copy any variable to a new window as show or watch. Register Window The register window displays and modifies CPU register values. The window is fully configurable and is updated every time the program is stopped. Highlighted registers indicate what has changed since the last stop. Stack Window The stack window displays the state of the current stack frame. With simple point and click operations you can setup level breakpoints, display source for function calls, and display local variables for selected functions.

4 CrossView Pro Multi-window interface Code coverage Profiling Code and data breakpoints with optional macro execution Kernel awareness Single stepping Stack trace Simulated I/O C expression evaluation Multiple Memory Windows Memory windows with hex and ASCII display enable you to monitor and modify any memory location, having complete control over the size and format of the data, as well as view coverage of the memory range. Coverage and Profiling With coverage you can check whether the code of your application is reached (executed at least once) or not. Coverage helps you build a complete test suite for your product, which improves the quality of your application. CrossView Pro also supports coverage of data regions. Profiling allows you to analyse the performance of your application. You can see how the total time is divided among the C functions and which functions should be optimized for speed. C-Like Macro Language With C-like macro language you can read and/or modify application variables and associate macros with breakpoints. Macros have full C expression syntax and can be assigned to user toolbox buttons. Multiple Execution Environments CrossView Pro supports multiple execution environments with a standard user interface. The execution environments available are Simulator and ROM Monitor. ROM Monitor Environment CrossView Pro ROM debugger can be used with any commercial off the shelf evaluation board or target application. CrossView Pro, running on a host computer system, communicates with the monitor on the target bord via an RS232 interface, using a very efficient protocol. The resources used by the monitor program are kept to a minimum. The monitor uses: approximately 3Kbytes one register bank 20 bytes of stack space 12 bits in bit addressable memory All files required to build the monitor are shipped as source with CrossView Pro ROM. Simulator The simulator uses the same control file as the linker/ locator when locating you application and therefore knows exactly where and how memory is mapped. All CrossView Pro features, including C level trace, Code Coverage, Profiling, and unlimited amount of code/data breakpoints are available to you.
