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). You can read/edit any hex file regardless of its origin by using a utility like: HxD Hex Editor Also some compiler/IDE toolsets allow the import and examination of HEX files, particularly those which originated from that particular toolset. hex file, and gives them the addresses required by the device. what software should i use Also please tell me alternatives to proteus as demo version does not support PICs.

The linker puts all the object files together into the series of hex digits in the. Sonoran Desert Tortoise Joined 79 2 new999 said: Hello I want to write code for pic and convert it to hex file as well.The assembler converts those into object files.The preprocessor converts #include and #define macros, and also processes any conditional compilation (#if) symbols.There are a number of steps which have to happen between the C code you have and loading data onto the device:
