SOFTWARE DESCRIPTION

KEIL SOFTWARE
Keil compiler is a software used where the machine language code is written and compiled. After compilation, the machine source code is converted into hex code which is to be dumped into the microcontroller for further processing. Keil compiler also supports C language code.

STEPS TO WRITE AN ASSEMBLY LANGUAGE PROGRAM IN KEIL AND HOW TO COMPILE IT
             Install the Keil Software in the PC in any of the drives.
Ø  After installation, an icon will be created with the name “Keil uVision3”. Just drag this icon onto the desktop so that it becomes easy whenever you try to write programs in keil.
Ø  Double click on this icon to start the keil compiler.
Ø  A page opens with different options in it showing the project workspace at the leftmost corner side, output window in the bottom and an ash coloured space for the program to be written.
Ø  Now to start using the keil, click on the option “project”.
Ø  A small window opens showing the options like new project, import project, open project etc. Click on “New project”.
Ø  A small window with the title bar “Create new project” opens. The window asks the user to give the project name with which it should be created and the destination location. The project can be created in any of the drives available. You can create a new folder and then a new file or can create directly a new file.
Ø  After the file is saved in the given destination location, a window opens where a list of vendors will be displayed and you have to select the device for the target you have created.
Ø  The most widely used vendor is Atmel. So click on Atmel and now the family of microcontrollers manufactured by Atmel opens. You can select any one of the microcontrollers according to the requirement.
