Craig E. Steiner Pinnacle 52 IDE "Complete Windows-based development environment for the 8052" Back to full resume | PDF version of this page Overview Building on the 8052 Simulator for Windows application I had previously developed, I wrote an entire integrated development environment for the 8052. This application includes an editor, assembler, linker, and simulator in a single package and allows the user to develop complete 8052 applications. Features Full simulator similar to the one included in the 8052 Simulator for Windows, including simulation of special function registers, interrupts, timers, and serial ports. Includes a very intelligent disassembly feature that is able to, for the most part, distinguish between executable instructions and embedded data. Allows user to modify the disassembly and add comments and labels to facilitate the reverse engineering of existing 8052 firmware. Simulates a number of external components using I2C and SPI serial communication. Sophisticated simulation analysis which allows the user to quickly determine what sections of code are consuming the most execution time so attention may be spent optimizing the most time-consuming sections of code. Includes a full-featured editor with context-sensitive font coloring. Includes a two-pass assembler capable of forward-referencing labels and symbols which produces intermediate object files. Includes a linker capable of linking multiple object files and locating modules in absolute as well as relocatable segments. Technology Main application GUI developed in Microsoft Visual Basic 3.0. Underlying simulation core DLL developed in Microsoft Visual C++ 1.51. Craig Steiner's Role Sole designer and developer of the Pinnacle 52 IDE application.
