Introduction To Keil

Keil is a cross-compiler software that allows developers to write programs for embedded systems like the 8051 microcontroller on a host computer. A cross-compiler translates source code into object code for the target processor. Keil provides an integrated development environment with tools like a compiler, assembler, debugger and simulator to develop, test and debug 8051 projects. The basic steps are to create source files, compile/assemble, link files, and test the linked application. Keil tutorials demonstrate how to set up a sample project that blinks an LED by toggling a port using its debugger.

Keil: A Cross Compiler

The Keil 8051 Development Tools are designed to solve the complex problems facing embedded software developers. Keil offers an evaluation package that will allow the assembly and debugging of files 2K or less. This package is freely available at their web site. Keils website address is www.keil.com.

Concept of compiler

Compilers are programs used to convert a High Level Language to object code. So if one wants to define a compiler then compiler is a program that translates source code into object code. 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)
www.8051.in

It means being in one environment you are writing a code for another environment is called cross development. And the compiler used for cross development is called cross compiler.

www.8051.in

Why do we need cross compiler?


Development of complex embedded systems completed in a fraction of the time Reliability is improved Maintenance is easy Knowledge of the processor instruction set and memory architecture is not required Improved 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 Existing routine can be reused in new programs by utilizing the modular programming techniques available with C.

Development tools provided by Keil

IDE (Integrated Development environment) Project Manager Simulator Debugger C Cross Compiler , Cross Assembler, Locator/Linker

www.8051.in

An assembler is used to assemble your 8051 assembly program A compiler is used to compile your C source code into an object file A linker is used to create an absolute object module suitable for your in-circuit emulator.

8051 project development cycle


These are the steps to develop 8051 project using keil 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

Basic Keil Tutorial

Open Keil from the Start menu The Figure below shows the basic names of the windows referred.

www.8051.in

You can see three different windows in this screen. 1) project work space window 2) editing window 3) output window. Project workspace window is for showing all the related files connected with your project. Editing window is the place where you will edit the code Output window will show the output when you compile or build or run your project.

www.8051.in

To start with a new project

Select New Project from the Project Menu.

www.8051.in

Name the project. Click on the Save Button.

www.8051.in

The device window will be displayed. Select the part you will be using to test with. For now we will use the Atmel micro controller AT89C51.

www.8051.in

Select this device from given options. Click OK

www.8051.in

Compiler will ask for copying standard 8051 startup code to project folder. Click NO

www.8051.in

Creating Source File

Click File Menu and select New.

www.8051.in

A new window will open up in the Keil IDE

www.8051.in

Copy the Program source code to the Right into the new window. This file will toggle Port 1 with a delay.

#include<reg51.h> void delay( ) { int i; for(i=0;i<18000;i++);

}
void main( ) { bit mybit; mybit=1;

while(1)
{ P1=mybit; mybit=~mybit; delay(); } }

www.8051.in

Click on File menu and select Save As

www.8051.in

Name the file Click the Save Button

www.8051.in

Adding File to the Project

Expand Target 1 in the Tree Menu and add file to source group.

www.8051.in

Change file extension to .c Click Add button Click Close Button Click OK button when you return to Target, Groups, Filesdialog box

www.8051.in

Expand the Source Group 1 in the Tree menu to ensure that the file was added to the project

www.8051.in

Creating HEX for the Part

Click on Target 1 in Tree menu Click on Project Menu and select Options for Target 1

www.8051.in

Select Target Tab Change Xtal (Mhz) into 11.0592

www.8051.in

Select Output Tab Click on Create Hex File check box Click OK Button

www.8051.in

Click on Project Menu and select Rebuild all Target Files In the Build Window it should report 0 Errors (s), 0 Warnings You are now ready to Program your Part

www.8051.in

Click on Debug Menu and Select Start/Stop Debug Session

www.8051.in

Running the Keil Debugger

The Keil Debugger should be now be Running.

www.8051.in

To check output..

Click on Peripherals. Select I/O Ports, Select Port 1

www.8051.in

A new window should port will pop up. This represent the Port and Pins

www.8051.in

Step through the code by pressing F11 (step by step debugging) on the Keyboard. The Parallel Port 1 Box should change as you completely step through the code. To exit out, Click on Debug Menu and Select Start/Stop Debug Session
