Another way to learn embedded development is through the Arduino (AVR) system, but that gets you out of C and into a beginner language. Also, the AT89C51 (now the AT89S51) uses an older 8051 core, you may find more modern processors like the ATmega, PIC18, or (much more new, but more complex) ARM cores (Cortex-M3/M0, probably) to be more user-friendly and well-supported. You may find native programming a bit easier if you want a slower learning curve.

These are some of the most basic steps of embedded software development. The usual way to do this is to use a programmer, though it is often convenient to program the device with a bootloader first, and then use this program to copy the.

This is generally referred to as a toolchain, but may be informally referred to as a compiler. It also brings in any external object files for which you don't have the source code (or have already compiled it in a previous iteration). axf file in armobj under the project folder. 2) In the Output tab, make sure the Create HEX file box is checked. hex file, and gives them the addresses required by the device. To generate the hex output: 1) Open the project you want to use and go to Projects->Options for target projectname.
