EVxx: Evaluation Kit

Unlike a “demo” which does not have functional tools, with the EV kit you'll be able to write, link, and burn into PROM fully functional programs for testing your software concepts and theories. You get everything listed above that's supposed to be in our C51 compiler kit, with the following limits!

  • The DOS versions of the tools are not included.
  • Final output programs are limited to 4Kbytes in overall size.
  • Documentation is limited to the built-in ProView help file.
  • Other then to report product bugs, technical support is not available with this special delivery.

This is an ideal kit for the student, hobbyist, novice, or just for the guy who only needs to make a small project! It is available only on CD-ROM (see price list for the listed price). While available from Franklin Software at the list price, it may be available through some of Franklin's major vendors (chip vendors, emulator vendors, and so on…) without cost. You might want to call and ask them.

This kit was originally created to enable an emulator vendor to provide fully functional high quality 8051 development tools with their products. We're pleased that it's been so well accepted and often requested. Enjoy!

SPECIAL NOTE!! The EV51 kit will be available from this website AT NO CHARGE for a limited time! Get it now!
