In this tutorial we will look at setting up the 8051 Development Board Ultra x51. Once you have done with this basic set up, you can use on board peripherals as well as many other peripherals which can be connected to board using on board GPIO's.

Basics

This board comes with a nuvoton w78E052D microcontroller, which has bootloader flashed into it.
As 8051 Development Board Ultra x51 comes with inbuilt boot loader and this board has on board USB to serial converter.

Hookup

To power up and program the 8051 Development Board Ultra x51 connect type B USB cable as shown in figure. For installing drivers for starter AVR board check out our Installing CP2102 USB Drivers tutorial.

Software Setup

In this tutorial series we are using "Xplore Flash" software to program the target MCU. Download Xplore Flash GUI.
Steps below show how to trasfer the hex file to the MCU using Xplore Flash.

1. Open the Xplore Flash and select programmer as Arduino .
2. Connect the starter AVR board to computer, it will detect as a COM port. Select detected COM port and set baud rate 19200 .
3. Click on Detect, it will detect the MCU as ATmega32.
4. After detecting the MCU browse the hex file .
5. Then just click on Go, It will erase, Flash and verifies the hex file.

Checkout the Blinky with Starter AVR tutorial, on how to set up the software, generate a hex file and blink an LED.
