8051 Development setup:Installing SDCC

Installing SDCC
SDCC is a Freeware, retargettable, optimizing ANSI - C compiler that targets the Intel 8051, Maxim 80DS390, Zilog Z80 and the Motorola 68HC08 based MCUs. Work is in progress on supporting the Microchip PIC16 and PIC18 series. The entire source code for the compiler is distributed under GPL.


To install the SDCC, download the latest version from http://sdcc.sourceforge.net/snap.php#Windows (currently v2.6.x). SDCC are available for several different operating systems. I am working on a PC running Microsoft Windows XP therefore I download the win32 self-executing SDCC install file
(sdcc-20060818-4339-setup.exe) and run the executable. By default, it will install all files to C:\Program Files\SDCC, you also can change to any directory.


When finishing installing the program, a prompt will appear asking to add the directory containing the program binaries to your PATH. I also recommend you to download the SDCC documentation (sdcc-doc-20060818-4339.zip), and extract it to your SDCC documentation directory (C:\Program Files\SDCC\doc).
