ULINK Support for NXP P89LPC952 & P89LPC954

Plano, TX: Keil has introduced target debugging and programming support for NXP 8051 based devices using the ULINK family of USB to JTAG adapters. The NXP P89LPC952 and P89LPC954 devices support a 2-wire debug interface that provides access to an on-chip debug system.

The ULINK2 connects the PC's USB port to the NXP P89LPC95x device series and enables Flash programming and debugging of user programs on the target hardware.

ULINK-ME is a reduced feature version of ULINK2 supporting the 20-pin JTAG connector only. The ULINK-ME is available together with Keil MCB950 as Starter Kit for the NXP P89LPC952/954 Devices.

ULINK support for the NXP P89LPC95x devices is available now in the new release of the Keil C51 v8.15 8051 development tools.

In addition to debugging in target hardware the Keil PK51 Professional Developers Kit features cycle-accurate device simulation for all NXP LPC9xx devices including the CPU and their on-chip peripherals. The µVision Simulator provides complete Trace and Timing Analysis as well as automated input patterns for regression testing. These extensive simulation capablities support detailed analysis of complex algorithms that interface to peripherals and help software developers overcome challenges unique to embedded systems projects. Additionally, with simulation, you can write and test applications before target hardware becomes available.
