Sorry for language, I hope you will understand.
For those who use 8051 and like programming in Pascal please take a look
at Turbo51 - a free Pascal compiler for the 8051 family of
microcontrollers:
http://turbo51.com
It features a fast single pass optimizing compiler, Borland Turbo Pascal
7 syntax, full floating point support, mixed pascal and assembler
programming, full use of register banks, advanced multi-pass optimizer,
smart linker, generates compact high quality code, output formats
include binary, Intel HEX, OMF-51 and assembler source. Source level
debugging possible with extended absolute object file.
Give it a try!
Hi funa,
I already found turbo51 but missing a reasonable
documentation it's very hard to get started with it.
Will it work with a 8052 without external RAM? I guess
I've got to search the demos about that. Eventually
I will try to feed your doc-pages through Acrobat and
test the result.
For the moment: Thanks for great work! But still a
lot of work is waiting ;-).

I already discovered your site a few days ago. The pascal comppiler
looks promising, and I'll probably try it out once I'ver built myself a
suitable piece of hardware - have been mostly using AVRs recently, but
since I started programming with Turbo Pascal, and working with
microcontrollers with the 80C535, this could make for a nice "back to
the roots" experience. If I like it, I might possibly use it in
real-world applications - An AT98S52 doesn't cost much more than an
ATtiny2313, after all.
By the way, is there any bootloader support, enabling the programmer to
write code that doesn't start at address 0 and such?
Hello everybody,
Regarding the docs: I will prepare a PDF document with complete
documentation immediately after I will finish some urgent features I
would like to implement, like OMF object file import and various calling
conventions (to use existing libraries written in C).
If you are familiar with Turbo Pascal then you should be also familiar
with Turbo51. The syntax is VERY similar (almost identical).
If there is ANY particular question or problem feel free to ask, please
use Turbo51 contact page.
Regarding code that doesn't start at address 0: I am already working on
this, if somebody is interested for a demo version with this feature
please go to Turbo51 contact page and send me a mail.

moin moin,
funktioniert ja schon ganz gut:-(

Nur meinen Record will er nicht :-)
111: Achse = Record
112: Step : Integer;

114: isLeading : Boolean;
115: Sig : Byte;
116: End;

In Delphi und in meinem Macroassembler geht das so.

Boolean variables use BIT (boolean) memory in 8051. If you would like to
use boolean variables in DATA or XDATA memory (or even in CODE memory as
typed constant) then you have two possibilities:
1) use type ByteBool (WordBool and LongBool are also possible), this
will occupy one byte (or 2 for WordBool and 4 for LongBool)
2) use sets. See some examples at
http://turbo51.com/documentation/8051-pascal-inline-procedures
Each set element can be boolean variable and will occupy only one bit in
DATA or XDATA memory, you have 8 boolean variables in on byte.
Hope this answers your question.
You can use the contact form on Turbo51 site for the fastest response on
any problem or question.
Just a reminder for all those who have used Turbo51 before version
0.1.3.2 and now have some trouble using the latest version:
In version 0.1.3.2 the syntax for $M directive was changed (to be able
to set CODE memory start address). Compiler directive $M has now syntax
