Short introduction

MCU 8051 IDE is a new modern graphical IDE for microcontrollers based on 8051. I belive 8051 is a great piece of technology. This IDE is a new way how to see and feel these still famous microcontrollers. MCU 8051 IDE is noncommercial open-source software primirily for Linux. Let me tell you what does this IDE offer.

More than 79 supported MCUs: 8051, 80C51, 8052, AT89C2051, AT89C4051, AT89C51, AT89C51RC, AT89C52, AT89C55WD,AT89LV51, AT89LV52 AT89LV55, AT89S52, AT89LS51, AT89LS52, AT89S8253, AT89S2051, AT89S4051, T87C5101, T83C5101, T83C5102, TS80C32X2, TS80C52X2, TS87C52X2, AT80C32X2, AT80C52X2, AT87C52X2, AT80C54X2, AT80C58X2, AT87C54X2, AT87C58X2, TS80C54X2, TS80C58X2, TS87C54X2, TS87C58X2, TS80C31X2, AT80C31X2, 8031, 8751, 8032, 8752, 80C31, 87C51, 80C52, 87C52, 80C32, 80C54, 87C54, 80C58, 87C58 and more ...
Advanced simulator
Advanced source code editor: Syntax highlight

Syntax validation (line 23)

Popup based autocompletion

Command line (like in Kate)

And more ...
Own optimalizing macro assembler
Support for ISO C
8 segment display editor
Base convertor
Special calculator
Simple graphical notepad
Interactive ASCII chart
Assembler symbol viewer
Hexadecimal editor
Tools for converting between various data files related to MCUs
Interactive map of SFR
Editor of bit addressable area in the simulated MCU
Interrupt monitor & editor
Stopwatch timer
IO Ports monitor
Simple rich text editor for writing user notes
Interactive help for assembly language
Simple hardware simulation (but not so simple to implement ... :) )
Various information windows, tooltips, legends, etc.
Hardware tools
That is definitely not all ...: For instance there is support for some external assemblers:
ASEM-51 by W.W. Heinz

ASL by Alfred Arnold
Also there is disassembler, register watches, list of bookmarks, list of breakoints, support for hardware control plugins, terminal emulator, scientific calculator, tool find in files, filesystem browser, SFR watches, custom commands (using Bash scripts), support for exporting source codes as XHTMLv1.1 or LaTeX souce, file statistics, command line interface (type `mcu8051ide --help' for more), support for doxygen, EEPROM write buffer editor (part of simulator), subprograms monitor, limited C debugger, many search panels and many other things ... (discover them yourself :) ... )
