HI
Any one used GPRS on 8051.. my requirement is simple.. I just need to send some data from 8051 to one of internet website using GPRS. I am planing to connect GSM/GPRS mobile to 8051 on serial port
Thanks Pankaj
You will need a GPRS module or modem.
Your GPRS module/modem neither knows nor cares what is connected to it - just so long as it does whatever the documentation tells you.
Note that the 'P' in "GPRS" stands for Packet, so you will need a TCP/IP stack - either embedded in the modem, or implemented on the 8051.
Search here and at http://www.8052.com/forum for "GSM" and "GPRS", etc...

It is a very common mistake to assume that, just because a requirement can be stated very briefly and "simply", it will be simple to implement that requirement...
We recently had a new Managing Director arrive.
He's the sort of person who would talk and never listen.
He decreed that we would have a new product, ARM based with Keil RTOS and with USB so customers could connect 'off the shelf' USB devices to it and our development time would be considerably reduced.
I mentioned "drivers".
"Don't be negative, it's easy", he said, "I do it all the time with my PC".
Fortunately, after three months, the board gave him the push!
It is so very easy to assume that knowledge about PCs or knowledge about PC programming is relevant for embedded equipment. Too bad that some people with that assumption sometimes manages to climb one or two steps too high in organisations.
Yes, I think USB is probably the classic example of something that appears simple from a user's perspective, so they assume that it must be simple to implement.
In fact, the opposite is true: it only appears simple from a user's perspective precisely because so much effort has gone into making it so!
"Too bad that some people with that assumption sometimes manages to climb one or two steps too high in organisations."
That's one of Parkinson's Laws: people are promoted until they reach their level of incompetence.
The "Peter Principle" (Laurence J. Peter)...
Oh yes - that's the one!
