Hi there - I am stuck developing code for 8051 uCs. We have been using the Dunfield compiler, but it looks like we are going to be moving towards a more complete compiler. I have been using the 1K demo of Keil, and it seems to be decent. I've run into a bug or two, but no deal breakers just yet. I've used IAR's Embedded Workbench for ARMs, but have yet to play around with their 8051 tools. There also seem to be a number of others out there, including the free SDCC. I will be developing code for Silicon Labs 8051s, if that matters.
Any opinions on which are the better compilers? They all seem to be priced in the same area (besides a couple really low end ones, like Dunfield) - so mostly I'm curious about features, bugs, support, etc.
Thanks!
