On-board programmer. This gives a lot of flexibility if you use different architectures. You could use your favourite development tools- just save the object code in a file format that the programmer software can upload. I have a PIC board from here, and use my favourite dev tool and just compile it to a file format that the programmer can use, *.asm for PIC, for example.There are heaps of optional cool accessories as well - pretty good prices.Also available code-size limited compilers for C (Basic or Pascal if that's your poison).Also some good online introductory books: http://www.mikroe.com/en/books/ Hope this helps... http://www.8051projects.net/forum-t3764.html 2009-01-07T22:45:02-08:00 Ajay looks like you posted in the wrong area.. moving it to general discussion http://www.8051projects.net/forum-t3764.html 2009-01-07T22:45:02-08:00 dts Oooops No probs
