Registration
AceBus is a small one-man operation. Your purchase of this program will help
insure its continued development. If you find this program useful please obtain a
registered version.
The unregistered evaluation version of this program has the following limitations.
• Editor text buffer limited to 16k bytes
• No include file support
Otherwise it is fully functional. It is provided for evaluation purposes only. If you
continue to use it then please register it.
The Registered version adds include file support and the editor uses a dynamic
text buffer size. The size of the text buffer is allocated to be 64k bytes larger than
the file being loaded.
The primary difference between the evaluation and registered versions is the size
of the 8051 application that can be developed.
The installation and registration key files can be obtained online using secure
order processing via the following Register Now (http://www.regnow.com/) link

8051 Integrated Development Environment Secure Order Form

(https://www.regnow.com/softsell/nph-softsell.cgi?item=4322-1)

The online registration process uses electronic distribution of the IDE and
registration key file. Upon completion of the on-line order process you will be given
a time limited download link for a compressed file containing the IDE setup files.
You will also be sent the registration key file as an e-mail attachment. This e-mail
also contains instructions on using the attached key file to register the IDE. A hard
copy of the program on diskette is not included with the on-line registration
process.
The manual is supplied in an Adobe Acrobat (PDF) format file and is automatically
copied to your computer during the installation process.

Introduction
The 8051 Integrated Development Environment (IDE) combines a text editor,
assembler and software simulator into a single program. All components needed
to develop 8051 programs (and its various derivatives) available and controllable
from this single IDE.
Enter and modify the program source code from within the built in editor. Then
assemble the source code by selecting the Assemble command. If any errors are
located the appropriate source module can be automatically loaded and the cursor
placed on the line containing the error. Fix the error and move to the next error (if
any). Once all errors have been fixed reassemble the code.
After successfully assembling the source code use the simulator to step through
your program. You can watch registers, flags, ports and memory locations change
as your program progresses. You will see the flow of your program and be able to
verify that it operates as intended. If it does not then return to the editor,
reassemble and back to the simulator.

Software Installation
To install the 8051 IDE onto the hard disk of a Windows 95 (98/ME/NT4.0 or XP)
based computer perform the following steps:
1. Download the 8051 for Windows IDE from the following web link

http://www.acebus.com/download/win8051.zip
2. Extract the setup files contained in the win8051.zip file to a temporary directory.
3. Once the setup files have been extracted, run the Setup.exe program to begin
the installation process.
Once setup has completed a 8051 IDE program group will be added to the Start
menu under Programs. A short cut to the 8051 IDE executable is located in this
new file group.
Selecting its shortcut from the Start Menu runs the 8051 IDE.

Software Operation
The 8051 Integrated Development Environment (IDE) is a Windows 95 based
application. It operates with the same look and feel of other Windows based
application.

 Editor Basics

Editor
The editor will be invoked when a file is loaded or when the New command is
selected.
The editor in the IDE is a full screen editor, designed for program editing and not
word processing. Features like word wrap are not available.
Many editor commands are invoked through a compound key sequence (or
keystroke). A compound keystroke is accomplished by holding down one key,
pressing another, and then releasing them both. Compound key sequences are
indicated with a plus sign. For example pressing and holding down the Ctrl key,
pressing the L key and releasing them both performs the Ctrl+L compound
keystroke. Some compound key strokes require three keys. Pressing and holding
the Shift key, pressing and holding the Ctrl key, pressing the PgUp key and
releasing all three keys perform for example Shift+Ctrl+PgUp.
Some editor commands utilize a compound keystroke and a single keystroke. For
example the key sequence Ctrl+Q Y is composed of a compound keystroke and a
single keystroke. Pressing and holding down the Ctrl key, pressing the Q key,
releasing them both, then pressing and releasing the Y key performs this example.
This type of key sequence requires that the Ctrl key be released before the
second key is pressed. For example Ctrl+Q Ctrl+Y is not the same as Ctrl+Q Y.

Basic Editor Operations

Key Stroke Description
Insert Toggles between insert and over type mode (notice the status bar
pane change from INS to OVR or from OVR to INS). In insert
mode the character under the cursor will be pushed to the right
and the character typed will be inserted at the cursor location. In
over-type mode the character typed will replace the character
under the cursor.
Delete Removes the character under the cursor. All characters to the
right will be moved one location to the left.
Tab If no text is selected (highlighted) pressing the Tab key advances
the cursor to the next tab stop in the editor. Spaces are inserted
into the editor from the initial cursor location to the new location.
If the selected text spans more than one line then the block of
selected text is indented with spaces. The number of spaces
added is equal to the current tab setting. If the selected text is
contained to a single line then pressing the Tab key does nothing.
BackSpace Deletes the character to the left of the cursor. All characters to
the right and under the cursor shift left. If the cursor is at the start
of a line the current line will be added to the previous one.
Ctrl+Z Undoes last edit action.
Alt-BackSpace Same a Ctrl+Z
Ctrl+Y Redoes last undone edit action.

Cursor movement

Assembler Basics
Assembler
Selecting Assemble from the Assemble menu assembles the source in the
currently active editor window. The number of errors found in the source will be
displayed in the Output window.
If any errors are located double clicking on an error message will load the
associated source code and position the cursor at the location of the line
containing that error.
NOTE: Some errors will generate additional errors, usually the first error is the
actual offense. If you fix an error and are unable to see the problem with a
subsequent error try reassembling the source.
Once an error is fixed, double clicking on other listed errors will load the
associated source code and position the cursor on the corresponding line If you
add a new line or delete an existing line the offending line no longer has the same
line number as the one in the error list. For this reason if you add or delete lines
containing errors reassemble the source to regenerate an accurate error/line
number list. If no errors are reported you can simulate the source.
Refer to 8051 source format, for a description of the layout of an 8031 assembly
language program.

Project File
The Project option allows you to specify the main source file in a multi-file project.
The project file contains include statements which list all the files in the project.
This allows you to assemble your project without having to first load the main file.
To specify a project file select the Project command from the Assemble menu and
type in the file name or select one from the list.
Use the Close Project command to clear the specified project file name.
Refer to the section titled Multi-file Projects for an explanation of how to setup a
multi-file project.

File Generation
The 8051 assembler generates a number of files when it assembles either an
individual file or a project. These files have the same name as either the individual
file being assembled or the name of the project being built. They will however
have the following extensions

HEX Intel hex format of the assembled binary code.

LST List file containing line numbers, address, binary code and source lines of
the file being assembled or the total project being built.

Source File Format

The assembler mnemonics, labels and symbols are not case sensitive. In other
words LOOP is the same as loop to the assembler. Each line of the source code
has the following format
LABEL: OPCODE OPERANDS ;COMMENT
each of these fields are defined below.

29
Printed Documentation

LABEL: Each line of source can contain an optional label. Labels may contain
letters, digits and an under score (_) character. The label must start with a
alphabetic character and terminate with a colon ":". Labels can contain as many
characters as you want although the assembler only recognizes the first 32. The
first time a label is encountered its name along with the current value of the
program counter is added to the label table. When the label is used as an
operand the value of the program counter associated with that label is substituted.
OPCODE: Opcodes can be either an 8051 mnemonic or an assembler directive.
A list of mnemonics and their operands are given in appendix A. The following
section contains a list of assembler directives. Opcodes must be separated from
labels and operands by at least one blank.
OPERAND: Operands are added after a mnemonic or directive to indicate what
the operation is to be performed on.
For example in the instruction: MOV R1,A
The operands are R1 and A. A comma, as in the example just given must
separate multiple operands.
COMMENT: Comments begin with a semicolon and instruct the assembler to
ignore all text from the semicolon to the end of the line.
SYMBOL: A symbol is a character string, which represents a specific value. For
example the source line
CR EQU 13
Instructs the assembler to equate the value 13 with the character sequence CR.
Symbols must conform to the same requirements as labels (but they are
terminated with a blank instead of a colon).
EQUATIONS: The assembler has a built in equation evaluator. Opcodes requiring
an immediate value or directives requiring a value can be constructed into an
equation. For example in the following source line
MOV A,8*4
8 * 4 is the equation which will be evaluated. Equations can be comprised of
numbers, labels, symbols, operators and parenthesized sub-equations.
Numbers must start with a digit between 0 and 9. Terminating with a B, H or D
respectively can specify binary, hexadecimal and decimal numbers. For example
01000001b, 041h and 65d are binary, hexadecimal and decimal representations of
the same value. If the radix is not specified then decimal is assumed. Although
the default assembler radix can be changed with the RADIX assembler directive.
Values for ASCII characters can be specified by surrounding the character with
single quotes, for example 'A' will cause the ASCII value (65) for the character to
be substituted.
Labels and symbols can be used if previously defined or equated to a value.
Labels and symbols not defined prior to their use can be used in expressions if
their value is not required on the first assembler pass. For example in the source
lines
DB 'hello', CR, LF
CR EQU 13
LF EQU 10
the value of CR and LF are not needed on the first pass, their values can be
substituted on the second pass. The only exception is the DS (Define Space)
directive. An example of this is
DS BUFSIZE
BUFSIZE EQU 20

30
 Assembler Basics

This code segment will generate a phase error. On the first pass the assembler
must know how many bytes to allocate for the DS (Define Space) directive in order
for it to continue determining address values for subsequent labels. For this
reason labels and symbols used in the DS directive must be defined prior to their
use.
The available operators are listed below in order of precedent
() parenthesized sub-equations
High returns the high byte of an integer value/result.
Example: if val is equal to 0x1234
High(val) returns 0x12
Low returns the low byte of an integer value/result.
Example: if val is equal to 0x1234
Low(val) returns 0x34
HighWord Returns the high word (two-byte) of an integer value/result.
Example: if val is equal to 0x12345678
HighWord(val) returns 0x1234
LowWord Returns the low word (two-byte) of an integer value/result.
Example: if val is equal to 0x12345678
LowWord(val) returns 0x5678
^ exponential
* multiplication
/ division
%, MOD modular, either type can be used.
&, AND logical AND, either type can be used.
|, OR logical OR, either type can be used.
+ addition
- subtraction
+, - unary operations
.n dot operator (20H.1=33, 20H.2=34, ... 20H.7=39)

Assembler Directives
The following is a list of directives supported by the 8051 Assembler:
ORG: Originate. Resets the program counter (at assembly time) to a specific
value. For example the source line
ORG 7
resets the program counter to the value 7.
DATAORG: Data Originate. Resets the data address counter used by the DS
directive. For example the source code segment
DATAORG 10
VAR1 DS 1
VAR2 DS 1
sets the symbols VAR1 and VAR2 to 10 and 11 respectively.

31
Printed Documentation

EQU: Equates a value with a character string (Symbol). For example the source
line
LF EQU 10
adds the symbol LF to the symbol table with the associated value 10. Each time
LF is used as an operand the value 10 will be substituted. A symbol can be
equated only once in a project. Equated symbols are evaluated to a numeric
result. The EQU directive does not perform a character substitution.
SET: Like EQU, SET sets a symbol to a specific value. A symbol’s value can be
modified at more than one location in the source file by the SET command.
BIT: Equates a bit address with a character string (Symbol). For example the
source line
HoldPin BIT 80h
adds the symbol HoldPin to the symbol table with the associated bit address 80h
(128 decimal, same as bit 0 of port 0). Each time HoldPin is used as an operand
the value 80h will be substituted. A symbol can be defined using the BIT
operation only once in a project. Bit defined symbols are evaluated to a numeric
result. The BIT directive does not perform a character substitution.
DATA: Equates an address with a character string (Symbol). For example the
source line
Count1 DATA 10h
adds the symbol Count1 to the symbol table with the associated address 10h (16
decimal). Each time Count1 is used as an operand the value 10h will be
substituted. A symbol can be defined using the DATA operation only once in a
project. Defined symbols are evaluated to a numeric result. The DATA directive
does not perform a character substitution.
DB: Define byte. This directive places a value or string of values in program
memory at the current program counter location (one per memory location). For
example
NUM: DB 10
MSG: DB 'HELLO WORLD',13,10
are legal usage of the DB directive. Each value (or values) will occupy one
memory location.
DW: Define word. This directive places a value or string of values in program
memory at the current program counter location one per 2 bytes of memory. For
example
NUM: DW 10
MSG: DW 'HELLO WORLD',13,10
are legal usage of the DW directive. Each value (or values) will occupy two
memory locations (in LS MS order).
DS: Define space. This directive will allocated a specified number of data memory
locations starting at the current data address counter location. For example
BUF DS 10
will allocate 10 bytes of memory starting at the location associated with BUF. This
directive is used to allocate space in internal and external data memory.
PAGE rows: Rows is optional, if omitted the listing file is advanced to the top of
the next page. If specified this value indicates the number of lines per page in the
listing file (e.g. PAGE 66). The default lines per page is 66.
%TITLE "title string": This directive allows you to specify the title to be displayed
in the listing file. You can change the title as often as you like. But since the title

32
 Assembler Basics

is displayed at the top of the first page the last defined title in your source file will
be displayed. This is due to the fact that the title is displayed before any lines of
the source file are processed for the second assembly pass. They have all been
processed for the first pass.
The quotes around the title string are required. Every character after the first
quotation mark to the character just before the next quotation mark will be
included in the title.
%SUBTTL "subtitle string": This directive allows you to specify the subtitle to be
displayed in the listing file. This subtitle is displayed starting will the second page
and can be changed as often as you like. The last declared subtitle will be
displayed in the title block of each page (except the first page).
%TOPMAR val: Allows you to specify the number of lines in the top margin of the
listing file. This value must be greater than 4 and must be less than the page
length minus the bottom margin (defined below).
%BOTMAR val: Allows you to specify the number of lines in the bottom margin of
the listing file. This value must be greater than 0 and must be less than the page
length minus the top margin (defined above).
END: Instructs the assembler to stop assembling the source file (ignore any text,
which follows the END directive). The END directive is not required, the
assembler will stop assembling either when it reaches an END directive or the end
of the text buffer.
RADIX: Allows you to change the default radix conversion from decimal to
hexadecimal or binary. The following lists the possible usage:
RADIX DEC - sets the default conversion radix to decimal.
RADIX HEX - sets the default conversion radix to hexadecimal.
RADIX BIN - sets the default conversion radix to binary.
INCLUDE: Allows you to build and simulate multi-file projects. Allowing for the
creation of programs which are to large to load into the editor. The format for the
include directive is:
INCLUDE "filename.ext"
The name of the included file must be enclosed in quotes. No extension is
assumed and must therefor be specified. The quotation marks are optional. You
can also use the traditional $ include format. This format of the include directive
is:
$filename.ext
An END directive in an included file will stop the assembly of that include file but
not of the project as a whole.
* The INCLUDE directive is only available in the registered version of the 8051
IDE.
BREAK: Specifies a break point in your code. This will cause the Simulator to
suspend your program when this point is reached.
MEMTYPE: Specifies the type of memory subsequent variables (symbols) will be
referencing. This allows the simulator to automatically select the Resource Type
when adding a watch from the edit window. This directive has the following format
MEMTYPE reftype
Were: reftype is one of the following
IRAM – internal Indirect RAM
DRAM – internal Direct RAM

Inline Intel Hex Formatted Code

Previously assembled Intel Hex formatted code can be inserted directly into a
source file. For example the following Intel Hex formatted program code

:108000007581B71282F712817320930B128242207E

can be inserted directly into your source file. You can also use the INCLUDE
directives to insert an entire hex file into your project. A line that starts with a
colon (:) is assumed to be an Intel Hex formatted code segment. An Intel Hex
formatted code segment has the following format

:NNAAAA00DDDD.....DDCS

Were
: signals the start of an Intel Hex formatted segment. Must be the
first non-space character of the line. Otherwise the line will not be
recognized as inline code.
NN is a two-character (1-byte) ASCII hex value indicating the number
of data bytes (DD).
AAAA is a four-character (2-byte) ASCII hex value indicating the address
of the code segment.
00 is a two character (1-byte) ASCII hex format identifier and must be
00 (no other format is recognized).
DD is a two-character (1-byte) ASCII hex code (or data) byte.
CS is a two-character (1-byte) ASCII hex value representing the 2’s
compliment check sum

The Intel Hex formatted code segment is added to your program code starting at
the current program counter address in the following sequence.

NNAAAA00DDDD.....DD

All values (except for the check sum) are added to the program code.

The following is an example code segment that adds a Hex file named flashup.hex
to the program code.

RelCodeSeg: ; start of code segment to be relocated$flashup.hex ;

include raw (already assembled) code segmentRelCodeSegEnd: ;
end of code segment to be relocated

34
 Assembler Basics

The Intel Formatted code will be added to the main programs code base starting at
the address associated with RelCodeSeg. The end of this added code segment is
identified by the address associated with RelCodeSegEnd.

Conditional Assembly
The assembler allows you to conditionally assemble segments of your code. This
allows you to assemble (or not assemble) various portions of your program. The
following illustrates the usefulness of conditional assembly. In this example
OFFSET is a constant, LOWBYTE and HIGHBYTE are internal memory locations.
OFFSET does not change at runtime, and LOWBYTE and HIGHBYTE do.
OFFSET EQU 1000H
MOV A,LOWBYTE
ADD A,#LOW OFFSET
MOV LOWBYTE,A
MOV A,HIGHBYTE
ADDC A,#HIGH OFFSET
MOV HIGHBYTE,A
In this example zero is added to the value LOWBYTE and does not change it.
Therefor the code performs no useful purpose and adds overhead to the program.
You could simply delete the code segment although this would cause problems if
the value of OFFSET changes. You can add conditional assembly directives to
help optimize the code. The following illustrates the modified code.
OFFSET EQU 1000H
CLR C ; clear in case the following
; code is omitted.
IF LOW(OFFSET) <> 0 ; if low byte is none zero
MOV A,LOWBYTE ; include code to add
ADD A,#LOW OFFSET ; low byte offset.
MOV LOWBYTE,A
ENDIF
MOV A,HIGHBYTE
ADDC A,#HIGH OFFSET
MOV HIGHBYTE,A
Since the low byte of OFFSET is zero the code is removed (not added) to the
runtime program. Although if at a later time the value of OFFSET changes (to say
1010h) then the code would be included in the assembled program.
It is important to note that this code is added or omitted from the assembled
machine code. The condition is tested at assembly time and not run time.
Therefor the condition of the test must not be able to change during runtime. If the
code is omitted the only way to get it back is to reassemble and reprogram the
circuit.
The conditional test operators are: <, >, =, <> (less than, greater than, equal and
not equal).
In the previous example we include or don't include a segment of code. Using an
ELSE construct we can assemble one of two program segments. For example
HARDWARE EQU 1
IF HARDWARE = 1
MOV R0,#10
ELSE
MOV R0,#20
ENDIF

35
Printed Documentation

This example allows you to maintain one version of source code for two versions
of hardware. In one version you need to load R0 with the value 10 and another
version with the value 20. To create firmware for each of the two versions you
simply change the value HARDWARE gets equated to and reassemble.

Multi-file Projects
The 8051 assembler recognizes a number of directives, which it treats as
comment lines. These directives are:
NAME, RSEG, PUBLIC, and EXTERN
These directives are used by some assemblers to allow a program to be brocken
into separate source modules. They allow each module to be assembled separate
of each other. Since this 8051 assembler does not support true program (source)
modules they have no purpose.
Use the INCLUDE directive to build multi-file projects. You can use a separate
source file, which simply lists each of the modules comprising the project. The
following is an example project file and has the file name PROJECT.ASM
INCLUDE "DEFINES.ASM" ; EQUATED SYMBOLS

DATAORG 0 ; ORIGINATE VARIABLES AT LOC 0

INCLUDE "DEFINEI.ASM" ; INTERNAL VARIABLE DEFINITIONS

DATAORG 0 ; ORIGINATE VARIABLES AT LOC 0

INCLUDE "DEFINEX.ASM" ; EXTERNAL VARIABLE DEFINITIONS

ORG 0 ; ORIGINATE CODE AT LOC 0

INCLUDE "VECTORS.ASM" ; STARTUP AND INTR VECTORS
INCLUDE "FONT1.ASM" ; CHARACTER FONTS
INCLUDE "FONT2.ASM"
INCLUDE "MAIN.ASM" ; MAIN PROGRAM BODY
INCLUDE "XMEM.ASM" ; EXTERNAL MEMORY ROUTINES
INCLUDE "INIT.ASM" ; INITIALIZATION ROUTINES
INCLUDE "STRING.ASM" ; STRING ROUTINES
INCLUDE "MATH.ASM" ; MATH ROUTINES
INCLUDE "SERIAL.ASM" ; SERIAL I/O ROUTINES
This project file performs the function of a make (or link) list file. You can precede
each module with an ORG directive. This provides the capability of specifying
module placement. Since all modules are assembled together the EXTERN and
PUBLIC statements are not needed. They are used by other assemblers which
compile individual modules providing reference symbols in other modules.
Having the 8051 assembler recognize and ignore these directives in conjunction
with a project file helps utilize existing code developed using other assemblers.
The project can be built two different ways. You can load the project file into the
editor and invoke the assembler. Although this is a bit inconvenient. Another way
is to specify the name of the project file. This option is located in the Assemble
menu.
Note that the alternate include format ($filename.ext) can be used instead of the
key word "include".
* The INCLUDE directive is only available in the registered version of the 8051
IDE.

Modify Simulated Registers

The Registers, DRAM, IRAM, XRAM and Ports can be modified by moving the
cursor to the desired entry and either pressing the Enter key or double clicking on
it. A dialog will be displayed prompting you to enter the new value. Entering a
blank line will set the item to zero.

Simulate Execution

Selecting the Step Into command via the Simulate menu, the toolbar icon or
pressing F11 will cause the next instruction to be executed. If the instruction is a
CALL then the simulator will step into the subroutine stopping at the first
instruction of that subroutine.

Like Step Into the Step Over command via the Simulate menu, the toolbar
icon or pressing F10 will cause the next instruction to be executed. Unlike Step
Into if the instruction is a CALL the simulator will execute all instructions below
(within) the subroutine being called before returning. You can break the program
execution by selecting the Break command via the Simulate menu, the
toolbar icon or pressing the Esc key. Once the Break command is issued the
source line being executed will be displayed with the cursor on it.
You can set break points for any instruction line in the simulator Source pane. A
break point will cause the simulator to stop (break) execution at a specific
instruction. If the next instruction the simulator is to execute has a break point it
will stop before executing that instruction. Break points are set by highlighting the
desired source line (in the Source pane) and selecting the Toggle Break Point
command via the Simulate menu, the toolbar icon or by pressing the F9
function key. Selecting the Toggle Break Point command while on a line
containing a break point will remove that break point.

Counter and Interrupt Simulation

The 8051 program simulates all three counters (T0, T1 and T2). Timer modes
which operate from the oscillator / 12 will increment as instructions are executed.
Counter modes, which count transitions of their corresponding pin, are also
implemented. Pin transitions can be simulated either by changing the port values
in the simulator or by embedding instructions in your source code. For example to
toggle T1 and generate a count add CPL P3.5 to your code. The simulator will
register the transition and increment the T1 counter (if enabled).
The simulator will also vector on interrupts. All interrupt sources are simulated
(external and internal). To generate an external interrupt, simply initialize the
appropriate registers and toggle the interrupt line (INT0 or INT1). Setting the port
bit low in the simulator and stepping through the code can toggle the interrupt
lines. You must step through at least one instruction after setting the port pin low
before setting it high again. Machine instructions which set an interrupt pin low
can be placed in your code, for example CLR P3.2 (INT0). Unfortunately this type
of interrupt generation is not completely random, as it would be in actual
operation.
The simulator executes code as it would on an 8032 processor. For this reason
timer 2 and its associated interrupts are simulated regardless of the target
processor. If you’re developing code for an 8031 be sure to initialize registers
such that the T2 counter is disabled. Otherwise the simulator may produce
improper results for your target processor.

Serial Port Simulation

The simulator will simulate the Transmit Buffer empty flag/interrupt caused by the
serial transmission of a byte. Only a single serial port (8031) is currently
supported. It operates in a fixed 10 bit, mode zero. The only limitation this places
on your simulation is a fixed ten-cycle count before the TI bit is set. Actual
operation of the 8031 will depend on the serial mode selected in the SCON
register.
To simulate serial reception, place a value in the SBUF special function register
and set the RI bit in SCON. If interrupts are enable one will be generated and the
simulator will vector to the appropriate program location.

Button Simulation
The simulator allows you to define and use buttons as virtual input devices. To
open a virtual button select View, Virtual, Button. A virtual button dialog will be
displayed. This dialog contains two buttons, a configuration and a user button.
Selecting the Configure button displayed the Virtual Button Configuration dialog
box.
You can open as many Virtual Buttons as you wish. The number and
configuration of each Virtual Button will be saved in the workspace. Saving the
workspace will save the placement and configuration of the Virtual Buttons as well.

accessing external data memory. Program memory is not paged. The additional
option allows you to select the number of memory pages. The number of pages tells
the simulator the number of bits at the specified address that are relevant. All other
bits at that address will be masked to zero before determining the memory page.
The options in this dialog are:
Enable Paged Memory: this check box item allows you to enable and disable
paged memory support. When checked paged memory is supported. When not
check paged memory is disabled.
Paged Memory Control Address: this option allows you to specify the direct
memory location containing the page indicator. The simulator references this
memory location each time you simulate a movx instruction. The actual address
calculation is done as follows
Address = 0x10000 * Page + dptr
Total amount of paged memory: this option defines how many 64k block to
allocate for the simulator. It also indicates the number of significant bits in the
Paged Memory Control Address byte to use when determining the final address.
For example if the amount of paged memory is set to two, then only the least
significant bit of the paged memory control value will be used in the final address
calculation. All the remaining bits are don’t cares. They can be one or zero, they
will not affect the calculation.
As an example let us say we have a device that has been developed with 512k of
memory. The lower 16 address lines of the memory are controlled normally through
the address/data bus. The upper address lines are connected to the lower bits of
P1. We then configure the simulator as follows

Enabled Paged Memory: (checked)

Paged Memory Control Address: 144
Total amount of paged memory: 8 pages (512k)

Note: 144 is the direct memory address for P1.

 Printed Documentation

In your code you would use the instructions

mov p1, 01h

movx a,@dptr

to access values in the second page of the 512k memory device.
