Step 1:
Open the Keil software,
Step2:
Now be ready for your first microcontroller project using keil software. Now we are going to do our new project, this can be done by by using following steps:
Click on ‘Project’ then ‘New project’. A new window will appear on the screen (Create new project). Simply type your project name (in my case it is ‘my first keil project’) and click ‘Save’.
Step3:
When you click on save button, a new window will appear (Select Device for Target ‘Target 1’) here we are required to tell – which microcontroller we are going to use? (For example, if we are using famous 8051 family or AT89C51, then double click on ‘Atmel’ here you will see all the microcontrollers made by ‘Atmel’. Click on any one (in my case it is AT89C51) which you are going to program). Then click on OK.
Step4:
After that another window will appear asking for “Copy Standard 8051 Startup Code to Project Folder and Add File to Project?” Click on ‘yes’.
Step5:
If you observe ‘Project workspace’ which is located at the left side, you will see ‘STARTUP.A51’ file is their. It means it is the file which contains the assembly language commands of 8051 microcontroller.
Step 4: Now we are required to configure option value of our microcontroller project. For doing this click on ‘Project’ then “Option for Target ‘Target 1’”.
Select Tab of Target to configure value of MCU Target as : Configure X-TAL to be 12 MHz (which is initially 24 MHz)
Step6:
Select Tab of Output and click on checkbox of “Create HEX file”. Click OK.
