LEAP#395 8051 Programming with SDCC


The main purpose of this program is simply to have something for testing the LEAP#394 AT89C2051 Programmer, and also my first trial of SDCC - Small Device C Compiler.

It is almost but not quite the simplest LED blinky program possible. It blinks an LED on P1_0, using a do-nothing loop to approximate 1Hz cycle time.

I’m impressed. For a chipset that is meant to be long dead, getting a C toolchain up and running on MacOSX and programming AT89C2051 devices was utterly painless.

As always, all notes, schematics and code are in the Little Electronics & Arduino Projects repo on GitHub hero_image
