Learning the Atmel 8051 programming

Of course not. The programming language of an Atmel 8051 is the same as for any other (true) 8051 --- that's the *definition* of it it being an "8051", essentially.

No. If there were, it woulnd't have the right to call itself an 8051.

To a certain extent. While the machine language is the same, almost every 8051 variant has its own set of hardware peripherals, and thus its own meanings for all the SFRs. There's a common ground even there, but you'll have to expect to recompile existing code every time you change from one 8051 variant to the other.

Yes. all 540 odd 8051's have a lot in common. There are more differences between members of the Atmel 8051 family that some of those members and members of other silicon vendors 8051's.

Which Atmel 51 did you have in mind?

Also

There is some 8051 Sw and free tools on the main part of the web site.

after that there is of course

just get your hands on an Atmel data book and your good to go

And get the original Intel MCS-51 manual. It goes into a lot of detail.. better if you can score a printed version, but they were printed on very low quality paper.

I have an Atmel "microcontroller" data book containing all the detail from the original MCS51 manual, plus the variations for their products. I don't think you can download it from their site, I got it from an atmel distributor.

You can still download the MCS51 manual from the Intel site. I did it the other day.

Did you mean this document, or do you have a more complete one?

No it has more info than that. It has lots of hardware details on how the ports, oscillator and reset circuit work. It is identical to the original intel one, but with further sections for the special features of the atmel devices.
