Explore how embedded C differs from standard C by highlighting hardware dependence and microcontroller architecture, and learn to program the 8051 using embedded C with simulation on a development board.
Identify microprocessor as the CPU that performs arithmetic and logical operations on binary data. Contrast microcontroller as microprocessor plus RAM, ROM, I/O, and timers integrated on a single chip.
Explore the 8051 data memory architecture: 128 bytes of memory, four register banks of eight 8-bit registers, and the role of special function registers.
Explore the 8051 memory map, including RAM, banks, and 128 bytes of special function registers, and learn bit-addressable access, along with the accumulator and data pointer.
Explore 8051 ports: four 8-bit, bidirectional, bit-addressable I/O ports, usable as bytes or bits, with port 0 address/data multiplexing for external sensors and actuators.
Learn about basic C data types for 8051, including unsigned and signed integers and characters, with their 8- and 16-bit ranges and ASCII considerations.
Interface a seven segment display with the 8051 using common anode or cathode configurations, multiplexed data lines, and segment selection to light digits.
Learn to drive a seven-segment display with an 8051 by using a digit code array, port 1 data, a bit-addressable control line on port b, and a 0-9 delay cycle.
Learn how to drive multiple seven-segment displays from a single common data bus using time-multiplexing, enabling and disabling segments to show different digits.
Learn how to interface a 4x4 matrix keypad with the 8051 by scanning columns and rows, driving columns low to enable a key press and detecting signals.
Explore embedded c to interface a 4x4 keypad with 8051, scan columns, use a lookup table to map keys, and display pressed values on a seven-segment display.
Learn how to generate a one second delay on 8051 by applying timer 0 with a 50 millisecond overflow, counting twenty delays, and toggling a port to blink an LED.
demonstrates hardware implementation of a stopwatch using the 8051 microcontroller, wiring port 0 and port 2 to a multiplexed seven-segment display, with start, stop, reset switches and 100 ms delay.
By learning this course,
You'll be able to
1. Understand the differences between C and Embedded C
2. Know how to program in Embedded C
3. Understand the internal architecture, on chip and off chip peripherals of 8051 microcontroller.
4. Understanding the usage of Keil IDE to program 8051.
5. Understanding the hardware components in 8051 development kit.
6. Build Embedded Systems Projects.
This course is completely practical oriented. We will be working with an hardware kit called 8051 development kit. Perhaps it's not necessary to buy the hardware if you don't wish to. Since, the results of each code can be verified in the simulation tool itself. But, working with hardware and getting the practical knowledge enhances the learning.
An embedded system is a microprocessor-based computer hardware system with software that is designed to perform a dedicated function, either as an independent system or as a part of a large system. At the core is an integrated circuit designed to carry out computation for real-time operations.
Hardware + Software = Embedded System!
We will be understanding both the things in this course. At the end of this course, the learner should be able to develop an embedded product using 8051 microcontroller for any application.
