Phyton PICE-52 Emulator Integrates with Keil µVision IDE

Brooklyn, NY: Phyton is pleased to announce integration of the PICE-52 emulator within the Keil µVision Debugger. Phyton's PICE-52 emulator has traditionally supported both source-level debugging and project-level development for the Keil 8051 C compiler. Many developers who use PICE-52 in combination with the Keil µVision IDE have requested that the µVision Debugger drive PICE-52 directly. After several months of close collaboration between developers from Phyton and Keil, we are pleased to announce the implementation of this feature.

µVision does not replace Phyton's own IDE but provides additional options for controlling PICE-52. We encourage all who are interested in evaluating the integrated Keil software and Phyton hardware for the 8051 to download the Project-52 software from the Phyton Website.

While most of the basic functions of PICE-52 are supported right from µVision, some features such as trace, memory coverage, and complex breakpoints, are not yet accessible for observation and control. Phyton plans to include these features in the integrated system in the future.

"We are proud to offer our customers an emulator with two development environments that can be used alternately by switching back and forth from one to the other. Both environments allow editing, project management, compiling, and debugging. So far PICE-52 is the only such product on the market. It was a great experience for our specialists to collaborate with partners from Keil and we hope that this new feature will help our joint customers in their future projects. As always, we are grateful for any critiques and suggestions," said Isaak Grinberg, President and CEO of Phyton, Inc.
