1.5 The Raisonance Integrated Development Environment
(RIDE) for 51+XA
The Raisonance tool chain fully supports the entire Philips XA and
8051 derivative microcontroller families. It includes an ANSI-C
compiler, macroassembler, linker/locator, simulator/debugger and
ROM monitor/debugger within the RIDE development environment.
From the unique RIDE user interface projects can be developed for an
application based either on an 8051 derivative, a XA derivative, or
both. Such flexibility makes migrating from 8-bit to 16-bit
architectures easier.
The Raisonance tool chain produces OMF object files that are
supported by most in-circuit emulators. The OMF-to-HEX utility
converts a Raisonance .aof format file into an Intel hexfile that is
suitable for programming into the external Flash on the PHYTEC
phyCORE-P87C591 target board.
The Raisonance tool chain consists of the following tools; all
integrated in RIDE:
•
C Compiler
•
Assembler
•
RTOS
•
Linker/Locator
•
Simulator/Debugger
•
ROM Monitor
All these tools and many utility programs are available in two
versions: as Win32 DLL called internally from RIDE, and DOS-based
executables (*.exe) that can be called externally. These two versions
are strictly equivalent regarding the generated code.
