How To Use KEIL Software

The document provides instructions for using the KEIL development environment to create, build, and debug a project for an AT89S52 microcontroller. It describes opening KEIL, creating a new project with a target device of AT89S52, adding and saving code files, rebuilding the project to check for errors, and debugging the running code using various icons in the KEIL interface. The steps include selecting the target device, adding and saving code files to the project, rebuilding the project to check for errors, and using debugging icons to run and control program execution.

Using the KEIL environment


KEIL uVision is the name of a software dedicated to the development and testing of a
family of microcontrollers based on 8051 technology, like the 89S52 which we are
going to use along this tutorial. You can can download an evaluation version of KEIL
at their website: http://www.keil.com/c51/. Most versions share merely the same
interface, this tutorial uses KEIL C51 uVision 3 with the C51 compiler v8.05a.

To create a project, write and test the previous example source code, follow the
following steps:

Open Keil and start a new project:

You will prompted to chose a name for your new project, Create a separate folder
where all the files of your project will be stored, chose a name and click save. The
following window will appear, where you will be asked to select a device for Target
'Target 1':

Figure: 2.8.b

From the list at the left, seek for the brand name ATMEL, then under ATMEL, select
AT89S52. You will notice that a brief description of the device appears on the right.
Leave the two upper check boxes unchecked and click OK. The AT89S52 will be
called your 'Target device', which is the final destination of your source code. You will
be asked whether to 'copy standard 8051 startup code' click No.

click File, New, and something similar to the following window should appear. The
box named 'Text1' is where your code should be written later.

Now you have to click 'File, Save as' and chose a file name for your source code
ending with the letter '.c'. You can name is 'code.c' for example, and click save. Then
you have to add this file to your project work space at the left as shown in the
following screen shot:

Figure: 2.8.d

After right-clicking on 'source group 1', click on 'Add files to group...', then you
will be prompted to browse the file to add to 'source group 1', chose the file that you
just saved, eventually 'code.c' and add it to the source group. You will notice that the
file is added to the project tree at the left.

In some versions of this software you have to turn ON manually the option to
generate HEX files. make sure it is turned ON, by right-clicking on target 1,
Options for target 'target 1', then under the 'output' tab, by checking the box
'generate HEX file'. This step is very important as the HEX file is the compiled
output of your project that is going to be transferred to the microcontroller.

You can then start to write the source code in the window titled 'code.c' then before
testing your source code, you have to compile your source code, and correct

eventual syntax errors. In KEIL IDE, this step is called 'rebuild all targets' and has
this icon: .

Figure: 2.8.e

You can use the output window to track eventual syntax errors, but also to check
the FLASH memory occupied by the program (code = 49) as well as the registers
occupied in the RAM (data = 9). If after rebuilding the targets, the 'output window'
shows that there is 0 error, then you are ready to test the performance of your
code. In keil, like in most development environment, this step is called Debugging,
and has this icon: . After clicking on the debug icon, you will notice that some part
of the user interface will change, some new icons will appear, like the run icon circled
in the following figure:

Figure: 2.8.f

You can click on the 'Run' icon and the execution of the program will start. In our
example, you can see the behavior of the pin 0 or port one, but clicking on
'peripherals, I/O ports, Port 1'. You can always stop the execution of the program by
clicking on the stop button ( ) and you can simulate a reset by clicking on the
'reset' button .

You can also control the execution of the program using the following icons:
which allows you to follow the execution step by step. Then, when
you're finished with the debugging, you can always return to the programming
interface by clicking again on the debug button ( ).
