In this tutorial, I am going to discuss how to create a C project intended for 8051 family of microcontrollers. I am going to use the free evaluation toolkit for 8051 from Raisonance. This tutorial aims to discuss the basics of creating project using the toolkit from Raisonance. However, the reader is advised to read the documentation of the said toolkit for more advanced usage and configuration.
What is the Free Evaluation 8051 Software Toolset of Raisonance?
