j8051

What is j8051?

j8051 is an assembler/IDE for 8051 asm files, written in Java.<br> No it can't do C. No I won't add C support. There are plenty of C compilers for 8051 out there.

It can compile and decompile to and from hex files, while showing you the steps in between to allow easy debugging.

Features

• Syntax highlighting
• Intel Hex file output
• Many debug options
  • Shows all used include files
  • Shows all defined symbols (labels, equs, ...)
  • Shows preprocessed text
  • Shows parsed components (and highlights non parcelable parts)
• Direct uploading to the µC via UART (just XC888 right now)

Why?

Because there are no programs with a modern, not cluttered, interface that meet my needs.<br> I need the assembler to flawlessly read files written for Rigel51, as many of the files used in my school where written with that program.<br> And I want to be able to use a different editor to edit the file, while j8051 just does the compiling and highlights errors without interrupting my workflow.<br> Also, I like programming. Its a hobby. So no guaranties.

Documentation

There will be documentation once the project nears completion.<br> The assembler is being written to mimic the capabilities of Reads51.
