EXPERIMENT-01

Familiarization with 8051 microcontroller training board and demonstration of

writing and executing a program on KEIL software compiler.

Keil is a German software subsidiary of Arm Holdings. It was founded in 1982 by Günter and Reinhard Keil,
initially as a German GbR. In April 1985 the company was converted to Keil Elektronik GmbH to market
add-on products for the development tools provided by many of the silicon vendors. Keil implemented the
first C compiler designed from the ground-up specifically for the 8051 microcontroller.
Keil offers an evaluation package that will allow the assembly and debugging of files 2K or less.
