BL51 Code Banking Linker/Locator

The BL51 code banking linker/locator combines OMF51 object modules and creates executable 8051 programs. The linker resolves external and public references and assigns absolute or fixed addresses to relocatable program segments.

The BL51 Linker processes object files created by the Keil C51 Compiler and A51 Assembler and the Intel PL/M-51 Compiler and ASM-51 Assembler. These object modules must adhere to the OMF51 object module specification. BL51 outputs an absolute OMF51 object module that may be loaded into practically any emulator, the Keil µVision Debugger, or the OH51 Object-HEX converter (to create an Intel HEX file).
