 A new Create New Project window will show. Save the project in the folder and
give the project a name.

 Click Save.
 A new window for Select Device for Target „Target 1‟ will appear.
o Select SST  SST89X516RD2 as the device.

 If your project has „C‟ code files then click YES for Copy Standard 8051 Startup
code else for „assembly „ code then click NO.

 Now the project is created and you can start to add your code.

2. Adding Files to Project.

To add code files to the project.
 Go to File  New .

 A new file will be created in the editor window.

 Save this file in the same folder with the extension of filename.asm or
filename.c.
 Now to add this file to the project right click on Source Group 1Add files to
Source Group 1.

Make sure that if you want to add a „asm‟ file then select „Asm Source File
(*.s,*.asm)’ from the File of Type drop down menu.

Select the file and click Add button to add file to the project.

 Now you can start writing your source code into the file.

3. Building the project and creating the HEX file.

 Certain settings are to be made to the project in order to simulate the code
correctly and also to generate the HEX file which will be downloaded into the
Microcontroller flash memory.

 Now click on the icon for Options for Target at the left side of the Target 1
menu.
 The Options for Target „Target1‟ window will open.

 In the Target Tab , in Xtal (MHz): change the value to 11.0592 (which is the value
of the crystal on our board).
 In the Output Tab , select the Create HEX File option.

 To compile / Build the code, go to Project  Build target.

(make sure that Target 1 is selected in the Project Workspace window)

 If there are no errors in the code then the project will be built successfully and the
hex file will be created.

Using the SST Flash Flex Utility

The SST Flash Flex utility tool is used to program the hex file into the Flash memory of
the SST 89x516RD2 Micro Controller.

 After the hex file is successfully created , right click on the SSTFlashFlex Icon and
run the utility in Admin Mode (admin mode is necessary for the utility to access
the serial port of the computer)
 Connect the Micro8051F board (CN1) to the computer using the USB cable.
 Power on the board using the 12V power adaptor.

Finding the COM Port Number .

 Right click on My Computer  Manage.
 The Computer Management window will open.

 Click on Device Manager  Ports (COM and LPT)

 Check for the USB Serial Port number assigned by the system.

Programming the Hex File USING SST Flash Flex.

 When you run the SST Flash Flex utility it will open the application.

 Now Keep pressing the RESET switch on the board.

 To set the COM port and Device options , click Options Tab.

 Select Chip Type as SST89E/V516RD2

 Using the drop down menu select the Comm Port.

o If the Com Port assigned is greater than COM5 change it to less than
COM5 as the SST Flash Flex Utility does not support above 5.
 Now press OK button and release the RESET switch.

 The IAP status must show Detect target MCU is successful and the device
information will be displayed.
 Now click the Download button in the IAP function section. It will open a
Download hex or Binary file in to flash window.

Changing the COM Port Number.

 The SST Flash Flex utility can recognize only COM1 to COM 6.
 Sometimes the computer assigns the number greater than 6.
 Hence we need to change this number so that we can use the SST Flash Flex .
 To change the COM port number
o Right Click My Computer Manage  Device Manager.
o Now right click on USB Serial Port (COM x)

o Go to Properties  Port settings tab  Advanced.
