I would STRONGLY recommend to the OP and such posters that they do not just jump into programming the '51, if they "jump into it" they will end up with a nightmare. In fact, one should never just "jump in" to any processor without first having done some study to determine that it is at least in the right ballpark for the requitements! "Jumping in" to a processor that is grossly over-specified can probably lead to just as many nightmares as "jumping in" to one that is grossly under-specified! SO, if you are new to the '51 do two things before you do anything else
a) read "the bible" more than once I think that's probably going to be far too much detail far too soon! What is needed is more of a broad overview to decide if it's even going to be worth downloading the so-called bible - let alone studying it in detail. eg, if "no C# support" is a real show-stopper, then any further investigation of anything 8051-based is pointless and a complete waste of time! I think something like the EDN Microprocessor Directory would probably be a better starting point: http://www.edn-europe.com/microdirectory.asp |
