#111855 - 8051 for laziness Responding to: ???'s previous message |
The 8051 was made for us lazy guys, which want to reuse program routines for one 8051 on any other 8051 derivate.
In opposition, changing a PIC need in general more or less (but often more) software changes. Often you can see errors reported by burning a hex-file into a PIC and nothing works. Then it pointed out, that a PICxyz was replaced by a PICxyz(A) or so. You are able to program all former and future 8051 derivates with any 8051 assembler or compiler, fully independent, how old it is. All 8051 derivates (about 756) are 100% software compatible until the 64kB code size limit. Peter |
