This paper describes the design and implementation of a version of the 8051 microcontroller, one of the most commercially used microcontrollers in FPGA with reconfigurable instruction set.

As you may recall, in my previous column, I started to consider why the 30-year-old eight-bit 8051 microcontroller remains a valuable player in the embedded systems game. The days, months, and years ...

Characteristics and contrasts with microprocessors. Hints on selecting and deploying microcontrollers. What might be on the horizon for microcontrollers, especially the competition between Von Neumann ...

Some people think that programs for microcontrollers like the 8051 that have limited program memory must be written in assembly language rather than a high-level language like C. The executable code ...

One of the most popular processors has been made available as a licensable core by IPextreme, following an agreement with Mentor Graphics. The M8051 family consists of four 8051 compatible cores: the ...
