Introduction To Micro Vision Keil

The document introduces the concepts of compilers and cross compilers. It explains that compilers convert high-level language code to object code for a specific processor, while cross compilers allow writing code for one processor on a different host processor. Keil C is introduced as a cross compiler that allows developing code for 8051 microcontrollers on a PC. The key advantages of using a cross compiler like Keil C are reduced development time, improved reliability, and easy maintenance.

INTRODUCTION TO MICRO VISION KEIL (IDE):

Keil is a cross compiler.So first we have to understandthe concept of compilers and cross
compilers.After then we shall learn how to work with keil.

CONCEPT OF COMPILER:
Compilers are programs used to convert a High Level Language to object code. Desktop
compilers produce an output object code for the underlyingmicroprocessor,but not for
other microprossers. I.E the programs written in one of the HLL like C will compile the code
to run on the system for aparticular processors like x86(underlying microprocessors in the
computer). Forexample compilers for Dos platform is different from the Compilers for Unix
platform.
So if one wants to define a compiler then compiler is a program thattranslates source
code into object code. The compiler derives its name from theway it works, looking at the entire
piece of source code and collecting andreorganizing the instruction. See there is a bit little
difference between compilerand an interpreter. Interpreter just interpreters whole program at a
time whilecompiler analyzes and execute each line of source code in succession, withoutlooking
at the entire program.
The advantage of interpreters is that they can execute a program immediately. Secondly progams
produced by compilers run much faster then the same programs executed by an interpreter.
However compilers require some time before an executable program emerges. Now ascompilers
require some time before an executable program emerges. Now ascompilers translate source
code into object code, which is unique for each type of computer, many compilers are available
for the same language.

CONCEPT OF CROSS COMPILER:


A cross compiler is similar to the compilers but we write a program for the target processor (like
8051 and its derivatives) on the host processors (like computer of x86).
It means being in one environment you are writing a code for another environment is called cross
development. And the complier used for cross development is called cross complier.
So the definition of cross complier is a complier that runs on one computer but produces object
code for a different type of computer. Cross compliers are used to generate software that can run
on computers with a new architecture or on special-purpose devices that cannot host their own
compliers. Cross compliers are very popular for embedded development, where the target
probably couldnt run a complier. Typically an embedded platform has restricted RAM, (no hard
disk, and limited I/O capability. Code can be edited and complied on a fast host machine (such as
a PC or Unix workstation) and the resulting executable code can then be downloaded to the
target to be tested. Cross compliers are beneficial whenever the host machine has more resources
(memory, disk, I/O etc) than the target. Keil C Complier is one such that complier that supports a
huge number of host and target combinations. It supports as a target to 8 bit microcontrollers like
Atmel and Motorola etc.

WHY DO WE NEED CROSS COMPLIERS?


There are several advantages of using cross complier. Some of them are described as follows
By using this compliers not only can development of complex embedded systems to
be completed in a fraction of the time, but reliability is improved, and maintenance
is easy.
Knowledge of the processor instruction set is not required.
A rudimentary knowledge of the 8051s memory architecture is desirable but not
necessary.
Register allocation and addressing mode details are managed by the complier.
The ability to combine variable selection with specific operations improves program
readability.

Keywords and operational functions that more nearly resemble the human thought
process can be used.
Program development and debugging times are dramatically reduced when
compared to assembly language programming.
The library files that ars supplied provide many standard routinrs (such as formatted
output,data conversions, and floating-point arithmetic) that may be incorporated
into your application.
Existing routine can be reused in new programs by utilizing the modular
programming techniques available with C.
The C language is very portabke and very popular. C compilers are available for
almost all target systems.

KEIL C CROSS COMPILER:

Keil is a German based Software develpoment company. It provides several development tols
like

IDE (Integrated Development Environment)


Project Manager
Simulator
Debugger
C Cross Compiler, Cross Assembler, Locator/Linker.

Keil Software provides you with software development tools for the 8051 family of
microcontrollers. With these tools, you can generate embedded applicatons for the multitude of
8051 derivatives. Keil provides following tools for 8051 development
1.

5.

C51 Optimizing C Cross Compiler,


A51 Macro Assembler,
8051 Utillites (linker, object file converter, library manager),
Source-Level Debugger/simulator,
Micro Vision for Windows Integrated Development Environment.

The kiel 8051 tool kit includes three main tools, assembler, compiler and linker.
An ASSEMBLER: is used to assembel your 8051 assembly program
A COMPILER: is used to compile your C source code into an object file
ALINKER: is used to create an absolute object module suitable for your in-cicuit emulator.

8051 PROJECT DEVELOPMENT CYCLE:


Create source files in C or assembly.
Compile or assemble source files.
Correct errors in source files.
Link object files from compiler and assembler.
Test linked application.
