Tools you need for writing 8051 micro controller:
Here are the some of tools used for 8051 microcontroller programming and simulation
- A51-Assembler
- Code editor -Syntax highlighting Notepad.
- Simulator-windows based Smart n Small Simulator.
- Baud -Timer value calculators for various baud rates.
- C compiler for 8051.
- RIDE software – simulation Click here
- Keil uVision – 8051/ARM simulation Click here (most preferred)
- Proteus – Fully embedded simulation software Click here
Here we will work on Keil Uvison4 simulation software to make our simulation before burning program into 8051 chip.
- Install sofware on your system
- Click Project -> New Uvision Project
- Save your project
- Select Target Device (8051 – AT89s51)
- File -> New
New text-editior will be opened. Here you need to write your code:
In this tutorial we will see blink LED program as beginners
#include<reg52.h>
sbit en=P0^0;
void delay();
void delay()
{
int i,j;
for(i=0;i<1000;i++)
for(j=0;j<500;j++);
}
main(){
while(1){
delay();
en = 0;
delay();
en = 1;
}
}
LED will get ON/OFF depending on delay function as specified in the about program
After typing this program save this file (with file extension *.c).
Right click source Group add files to source group. Choose your saved file wit extension “.c”.
After adding your code file to source group.
Go to “project” menu click “Build Target”
You should get zero errors after compile it.
Once you done with your compilation click “Debug” Menu click “Run”
Now your simulation will run where you can see the port0 which will be blinked depending on delay specified in your code.
Thats it!! You’re done with your simulation. In next article article will teach you how to burn code into the 8051 microcontroller chip. Please make your doubts in the comments section.
How to burn the hex file in the microcontroller. Any circuit diagram For programmer for AT89C51 microcontroller please tell me……..
HI Sanket, You will be having mircocontroller AT89C series burning kit for to burn the hex file to your microcontroller. You can burn using the kit.. If you need to design own means kit you should go for AT89S series microcontroller, kit can be designed in home itself using Parallel port connection.
Hi sanket. There is a downloader for the program. You can make it by own.
i have an 8051 kit which comes with atmega16 , a serial rs232 port with max 232 ic and necessary connections for Vcc , gnd and oscillator . How do i burn hex code into mCU using this rs232 port , i use keil uVision4 for simulation and creating hex files . Do i need other softwares for dumping the code ?
Yeah you need burning software in order to burn your code to IC. Usually burning software comes with 8051 kit you have bought… You can download software in this link: http://ece.jagansindia.in/2012/01/isp-programming-kit-for-at89s952-and-avr-seires/
IC IS ONE OF THE DANGEROUS ITEM
Where can i find the next article ? Please send or post a link ! i need it urgently ! Thank you !

can u pls specify me a software name to dump a program in 8051.i have the kit but i dint get the cd along with it
Which 8051 microcontroller kit you have? Here is the software for ISP Kit Click Here to Download
I have a AT168 development board (Arduino Uno). I want to program a AT89C2051 micro-controller using that board. And burn the code using Keil into it. Is this possible?
electroniic
i am a student ,abhishek.i am working on project rf remote controle robote car using ic at89c2051how to burn the hex code on ic if i dont have any kit ………..what would i require to do so……i need to know is there any module using that i can burn an ic .is there if it is please tell me ……..and send me your email id so i can contact u for guidence as i am new family member of micro family
Hi Abhishkek.. Are you sure wanna use AT89C2051? You can use AT89SXX series controllers which will come with ISP (In-system programming) which do not require any kit to burn the IC. Because AT89C2051 does not have ISP functionality.
AT89CXX and AT89SXX will have similar functions.
Here is the link for Burning code on controller without using any kit on AT89SXX series:

Hi, I am a student doing a project using AT89C2051. Please tell me which programmer (software + hardware kit) is required for burning the hex files in the AT89C2051.. Please tell about AT89C2051 only..
Hi Shubham, Get it touch with the electronics shop where you bought the AT89C2051 microcontroller chip. They will be able to provide the hardware burning kit and software in the package.
sir, i m b.tech student & working on 8051 project. i want to known that how can i loaded microcontroller with my program. which type of hardware & software need for this
What your microcontroller series? Its AT89CXX or AT89SXX series? If AT89CXX series you need to buy programmer of AT89CXX series. If you want built own kit then you can go AT89SXX series controllers.
how can i used the alexan atmel 89cx051 programmer?can i need a software to used that prommer sir please help…..
Yes You need the software which is compatible for your 89cx051 programmer. Once the software you need to find your controller and select the HEX file. Once the HEX file selected click burn/write button and wait to get it completed. Then you’re done. After burning controller test it with your kit.
Is there need of any type of software to burn program in AT89SXX or AT89CXX. Which circuit is capable for my own kit
hi i have alexan 89cx051 programmer but i dont have any idea how to use it to burn an hex file into atmel 89c2051 please help me..

AT89Cxx? Or source code of AT89Sxx & AT89Cxx will
be same for any project.
Bcoz I m doing Automatic railway gate controller project.
Dear Sir,
With due respect I would like to express that we are pursuing our project on electronics
as a final year B.Tech student of Electrical & Electronics Engineering. The main aim of of the
project is to make a circuit of streetlight that glows on detecting the vehicle movement.
The components that we are using are:
• ATmega8 microcontroller
• DS1307 IC
• PIR sensor
• LDR
• LCD
• LED array
The questions that I want to ask are these:
1.Can we use the AVR board that contains the AT mega8 microcontroller and a bread board separately for adding some of other components to that AVR board?
2.How can we fuse our program in the AVR board containing the ATmega8 controller?
3.Can you send a sample copy of the program that we will be using to implement the circuit?
Waiting for your early response .

I know programming, and am good with FORTRAN, BASIC, and Pascal, and a little bit of C. I have learned use of ATmega368. How long will it take to learn 8051 ?
PIEASE SEND THE PROGRAM OF THE ARDIONO SOFTWARE
why void delay function is usedfor two times
There is an “error” in your code.
It is not necessary to declare the prototype of the “delay” function:
void delay();
if you write the body of the function before the main function.
You can remove that line and the program will work.
The prototype declaration is useful only if you write the source code of the declared function after the main function.
Thanks for doing this tutorial!
