A51: OBTAINING AN INCLUDE FILE FOR A PARTICULAR DEVICE

Information in this article applies to:

• C51 Version 5.50

QUESTION

For my assembly project, I need an include file for a particular 8051 compatible device. I have looked in the C51\ASM directory and I cannot find it. Where may I obtain the include file?

ANSWER

First, check out the Technical Support section on our website and choose 'Download Files' followed by 'C51 Files'.

If you cannot find the exact header file you need, then find the closest match to your device either in the C51\ASM directory or the web site.

Make a copy and using the datasheet make the changes and additions required to the SFRs and sbits. This won't take very long to do and is basically a 'copy and complete' exercise.
