The 8051/80390 has a wide range of compatible compilers and debuggers shown below. We highly recommend using our fully optimized development tool for 8051/80390 IP Cores called DoCD™ Debug System.

DoCD™ Debug System DoCD™ is a Digital Core Design own on chip debugging technology. The DoCD™ System provides real-time and non-intrusive debug capability. It allows a pre-silicon validation and post-siliconon-chip software debugging - hardware breakpoints, trace, variables watch and multi C sources debugging. The DoCD™ Debug System can work as a hardware debugger as well as a software simulator - some tasks can be validated at software simulation level and after this step user can continue real-time debugging by uploading code into silicon.

C-SPY supports RTOS-aware debugging on hardware or in a simulator. Download Keil C51 for the 8051/80390 An 8051 C Compiler for Digital Core Design DX8051/ DX80390 Microcontroller IP Cores. Keil Software development tools for the 8051 support every level of software developer-from the professional applications engineer to the student just learning about embedded software development. The industry-standard Keil C Compilers, Macro Assemblers, Debuggers, Real-time Kernels, and Single-board Computers support ALL DCD 8051 Microcontroller IP Cores and help you get your projects completed on schedule. Download TASKING Development Toolset for 8051 The TASKING Software Development Toolset is a state-of-the-art-programming package for the 8051 microcontroller family. The toolset consists: ANSI/C compiler with integrated MISRA C code checking, assembler with macro processor, linker and locator, "CrossView Pro" debugger, flash tool and load utility, embedded development environment (EDE). Download HI-TECH C for 8051 More than a C Compiler for embedded development - this is a complete development system and set of tools for C and assembler. With features like an integrated development environment, assembler-free programming, and an intelligent optimizer, you can develop exceptionally tight and fast code with ease for the 8051 embedded processor. Several different memory models are offered by compile-time selection: small for single chip applications; medium and large for external memory, and huge for a banked code configuration. Compiled code can be easily emulated with advanced source-level debugging features. Optionally, the compiler may be run directly from the command line, allowing you to compile, assemble and link using one command. This enables the compiler to be integrated into third party development environments. Download SDCC - Small Device C Compiler SDCC is a Freeware, retargettable, optimizing ANSI - C compiler distributed under GPL. The tool include extensive MCU specific language extensions, allowing effective use of the underlying hardware, a host of standard optimizations, a global register allocator, a full range of data types, the ability to add inline assembler code anywhere in a function. SDCC also comes with the source level debugger SDCDB, using s51 simulator.
