I am part of a development of an ASIC MCU with 8051 IP core.

Why don't you implement debug via JTAG?

It seems a bit bizarre to have the latest cutting-edge ASIC technology, but then rely on a state-of-the-ark steam-driven monitor for debugging!! :-0

2. What exactly means an off-chip UART?

It means exactly what it says on the tin!
It's a UART that is not on the 8051 Chip; ie, an external UART, connected to the 8051's IO ports (possibly as a memory-mapped peripheral)

Presumably, you could effectively implement an "off-chip" UART within your ASIC?
