Best regards, Carlos Cardoso

Are you really looking for specifically GCC or are you really just looking for something free, open source or running on *NIX?

The 51 family, as you refer to it, has an awful lot of branches to it now. There are a lot of manufacturers making 8051 variants all of which are different and may need compile extensions that might not be supported by a generic 8051 compiler. Most vendors have free (or very low cost) development tools now to encourage people to use their devices.

I just did a google for "8051 c compiler free" and got quite a few possibilities.

Hi Carlos:
Just remind you to a trick: If you need a new ASSY instruction you can define it in a MACRO by combining
DB-s with conditional ASSY instructions.

I have even seen a complete crossassembler written
in MACRO -- of course it used a few non-standard
mnemonics.

Hi-

I think that you might be looking for SDCC, a 'nix boxen
code for the Z80 which has variants for a lot of the
micros.

You can find it at sourceforge.

Cheers,
