8051PROG PROGRAMMER
Along with complementary software, 8051prog programmer represents an irreplaceable tool
for all those working with 8051 microcontrollers. By means of this programmer, it is possible
to program almost any 8051 microcontroller, including those embedded (soldered) in printed
circuit board. The 8051prog programmer is connected to the microcontroller via seven lines.
Two of them are +5V and GND, while others are used for device selection, signal transmis-
sion (SPI protocol) and reset:
SS (Slave Select)
MISO (Master In - Slave Out)
MOSI (Master Out - Slave In)
SCK (Serial Clock)
RST (Reset)
These lines are contained within a flat cable ending with an IDC10 female connector. While
designing a target device, the appropriate 10-pin male connector with 2.54 mm space
between pins should be placed on it. Connector pins should be connected to the microcon-
troller pins. Their position varies depending on the microcontrollers type and package. Appro-
priate connection schematics are provided at the end of this manual.
Note: If a target device uses MCU programming pins for the operation of some other peri-
pherals, then it should be enabled to these peripherals to be disconnected during
programming. Jumpers are commonly used for disconnecting the MISO, MOSI, SCK,
SS and RST programming pins.
Programmer is inac-
tive
During normal operation of
the target device, the pro-
grammer should be dis-
connected, while peripher-
als should be normally
connected to the MCU
pins as per project. Con-
nection is made by means
of four jumpers.

During programming a
device with built-in 8051
microcontroller, the pro-
grammer should be
connected to the MCU
programming pins via
IDC10 connector. At the
same time, any periph-
eral using the same pins
should be disconnected
by means of jumpers.
If the target board has its own 5V power supply, then it can be also used for powering the
8051prog programmer. In that case, it is necessary to open programmers plastic case and
remove the jumper for power supply selection. Otherwise, if the target board does not have
its own power supply source, then the jumper should not be removed. In that case, the pro-
grammer, the microcontroller and the whole electronics are powered via programmers USB
cable which connects the programmer to a PC. Any other on-board power supply must be
suspended.
This picture illustrates the position of jumper when the target board
and the programmer are powered via USB cable.
This picture illustrates the programmer with no jumper for power sup-
ply selection. In this case the programmer is powered by the target
board which has its own power supply.

Next. If you choose default folder, the program
will be installed on the following destination:
C:\Program Files\Mikroelektronika\8051flash
Step 5: Installation Details
8051flash installation starts here and its progress
will be shown on the screen. If you are interested

details button.
Step 6: Finish
Windows will notify you of successful installation
of 8051flash, by showing the window from the
picture on the right. To complete the installation

8051flash SOFTWARE
Step 1: Run 8051flash
Run 8051flash from your PC. Click the Device
option and select the appropriate microcontroller
to program. 8051flash will automatically set
parameters to work with the specified microcon-
troller.
Step 2: Load HEX File
Click the Load option which opens the win-
dow shown on picture on the right. Select
the appropriate executable file (having
extension .HEX in its name) and click the
Open option. 8051flash will do all neces-
sary settings on the basis of control bits
stored in the HEX file.
Step 3: Write Program
Click the Write option in the up-right corner of
the working window to start programming the
microcontroller. The progress of program-
ming will be shown in the right bottom corner
of the working window.

PROGRAMMERS OPERATION
The programming of 8051 microcontroller is performed by using signals RST, MISO, MOSI
and SCK from the 8051prog programmer. They are brought to the appropriate reset and SPI
communication pins. In order to enable programming to run without errors, it is necessary to
make sure that these pins are not connected to other electronic components. Otherwise, dur-
ing normal operation, these pins must be connected to the other components as per project.
Since the microcontroller is soldered on the printed circuit board (with no use of socket), it is
necessary to enable these pins to be connected to/disconnected from the rest of electronics
by using jumpers. Because of that, do not forget to embed 4 jumpers while designing a device.

At the end of the programmers flat cable, there is an IDC 10 female connector which fits into
an on-board IDC10 male connector with 2.54mm space between pins. During normal opera-
tion of the target device, it should be left disconnected as shown in figure below. In that way,
the microcontroller pins will be connected to the rest of on-board electronics via four jumpers.

After programming, the programmers IDC10 female connector must be unplugged and jumpers
must be placed. It enables the RST, MISO, MOSI and SCK pins to be connected to the rest of on
board electronics, which further enables device to operate normally without being affected by the
8051prog programmer. If needed, the jumpers can be removed and 8051prog can be reconnect-
ed in order to reprogram the chip.
Note: Target board must not have electrolytic capacitors between the microcontroller pins and
embedded IDC10 male connector if the power supply voltage is controlled by the
8051prog programmer.
