This chapter explains how to use the A51 assembler to assemble 8051 assembly source files and discusses the assembler controls that you may specify on the command line and within the source file.
Using the controls described in this chapter, you can specify which operations are performed by A51. For example, you may direct the A51 assembler to: generate a listing file, produce cross reference information, and control the amount of information included in the object file. You may also conditionally assemble sections of code using the conditional assembly controls.
