j8051

What is j8051?

j8051 is an assembler/IDE for 8051 asm files, written in Java.
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.
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.
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.
Also, I like programming. Its a hobby. So no guaranties.

Documentation

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