  • The screen shot above is from an 8051 simulator/emulator program that I wrote. Click on it to see the full size image. It can be used to assemble, execute and debug 8051 assembly language programs. You can download the Visible 8051 simulator program The program is FREEWARE. However, if you find the program useful or have any comments about it, please send me an email at the address below.
  • VIS8051 FEATURES
    • The program allows access to the 8051's registers, ports and memory.
    • The program uses Metalink's proven ASM51 as the assembler for predictable syntax.
    • Metalink ASM51 assembler is included in the install file, courtesy of Metalink Corp.
    • It has the ability to link to an external 8051 microcontroller board via the RS232 port.
    • The program can simulate timer operations and interrupts.
    • The program shows instruction timing and cycle counts.
    • Two different clock frequencies can be simulated, 11.0592Mhz and 12.0Mhz.
    • 64K of simulated external RAM is provided.
    • Unlimited breakpoints can be set.
    • Subroutines can be stepped into or over (run full speed)
    • Ports, registers and memory contents can be viewed as hex, binary, decimal or characters.
    • All ports, registers and memory values can be viewed and or modified while the simulated program is running. There is no need to stop the simulation to change register values as with other simulator/debugger programs.
    • All bit addressable locations can be altered bitwise (using checkboxes).
    • When an external board is used, changes to ports are immediately transmitted to the external hardware. Similarly, input changes at the external hardware ports are immediately updated in the simulator program whether the simulated program is running or not.
    • The program can download the assembled program to an external 8051 board when used with the downloader program (not included)
    • An LED panel that contains 8 LEDs can be connected to either Port 0 or Port 1
    • The program comes with an installer/uninstaller program.
