Don't worry about the programmer as the SiLabs debug/programming JTAG dongle costs $40 (a SCREEEEEAMING deal). As well as programming, that dongle gives you access to the "on-chip debug" mentioned here: http://www.8052.com/forum/read/169331 - that means that you can "look inside" the actual chip that's running your code! You can single-step the code in your actual target hardware! That really does make debugging sooooooooooooooooo much easier! And, of course, there are other alternatives available that don't require a programmer - they can be programmed directly through the UART with just an RS232 cable. |
