P89V51RD2 can be programed using MikroC?

I have a P89V51RD2 chip, can i program it using MikroC? It is not listed in MikroC

Hi,

If it is not listed, then I'm afraid that it cannot be used.

It's a 100% 8051 core, and MikroC generate 100% 8051 instructions. I cannot see why you cannot program it.
I think that if you make needed header file containing the mapping of the registers, you can program it using mikroC (I mean the compiler mikroC, I dont mean you can flash it from withing the IDE).

Hi,

Of course, if you write the definition file for this MCU (if it is 100% 8051 core as octal said) you should be able to use it,
but this would be a hard way if you are an inexperienced user.

I found 89c51RD2 in the list. Hope its Equivalent.

P89v51RD2 will work for simple LED blinking programs using mikroc. But it is not working with UART of mikroC, Not even getting some error values, even in proteus simulator. Is there any bug with the example?

Hi,

Well, if this MCU is not supported by the compiler and you have added it manually by writing your DEF file,
I'm afraid that I'm unable to help you much on this matter, as I haven't got the sample nor its DEF file and don't have experience in Philips 8051's chips.

Thank you for the understanding.

Filip.
