By default, the software pack is installed in C:UsersAppDataLocalArmPacks. This default location is used by Keil µVision to load the software packs during the project creation process. This becomes inconvenient when the path is not accessible due to insufficient privileges or if the packs need to be installed at a custom location. Debug Driver for Keil µVision Software. Silicon Labs and Keil Software have teamed to provide support for the C8051F family of MCUs in the Keil µVision state-of-the-art development platforms. The µVision debug driver allows the Keil µVision IDE to communicate with Silicon Labs on-chip debug logic.

Keil is a German software subsidiary of Arm Holdings. It was founded in 1982 by Günter and Reinhard Keil, initially as a German GbR. In April 1985 the company was converted to Keil Elektronik GmbH to market add-on products for the development tools provided by many of the silicon vendors. Keil implemented the first Ccompiler designed from the ground-up specifically for the 8051microcontroller.

Keil provides a broad range of development tools like ANSICcompiler, macro assemblers, debuggers and simulators, linkers, IDE, library managers, real-time operating systems (currently RTX5)[1][2][3] and evaluation boards for over 8,500 devices.[4][5]

In October 2005, Keil (Keil Elektronik GmbH in Munich, Germany, and Keil Software, Inc. in Plano, Texas) were acquired by Arm.[6][7][8]

Since the merger with Arm, the company is still active in providing products and services.[9][10][11][12]

In this tutorial, we will look at how to use Keil uVision5 for LPC2148 ARM7 Microcontroller. This tutorial is requested by one of our fellow readers. There are many folks want to migrate from uVision4 to Keil uVision5. It’s been years now, Keil-MDK5 has been released. I remember when I tried my hands first time with Keil uVision5. It took me for a while to figure out why LPC2148 is not listed in “select device for target” menu while creating new project. I am sure this post will answer all of your questions regarding Keil-MDK5.

Also, we will Create Fresh New Project using Keil uVision5 for LPC2148 ARM7 Microcontroller. Anyways it’s very simple we only have to follow few tricky steps while installing Keil uVision5 for LPC2148 ARM7 Microcontroller. If you’re already using Keil uVision4 then you might be familiar with installation of Keil uVision5 which is similar. For first time users, we need to download setup Click Here. Make sure to fill registration form while downloading setup file. All the information such as name and email address you may need to provide while using Keil uVision5 for first time. Let’s download Keil uVision5.

Once we fill registration form we will be directed to following page. Just click on .EXE file and download setup.

Once we’re ready with download. We need to install Keil uVision5. After installation of Keil uVision5 here comes tricky part. At this point if we try to create fresh new project using Keil uVision5 for LPC2148 ARM7 Microcontroller. We would not find LPC2148 or NXP into device list. To get list of all ARM7 microcontroller chips into device list we need to install software packs which will support LPC2148 ARM7 Microcontroller. Although in uVision4 we need not to do this but in Keil uVision5 we must install software packs prior to create project for our target chip. Here is the link to get software packs: http://www2.keil.com/mdk5/legacy
Uvision

I believe at this point we all have successfully installed Keil uVision5 and legacy software packs for ARM7 Microcontrollers

Create Project using Keil uVision5 for LPC2148 ARM7 Microcontroller:

  • Create a folder on desktop
  • Open Keil uVision5 Application
  • Go to Project –> New uVision Project
  • Give Name to Project e.g. “test” –> Save (Browse this project file into newly created folder on desktop).
  • We will get popup box Select Device for Target “Target1”. There will be a drop down menu where we have to choose Legacy Device Database [no RTE]. We notice that extended list of device families will be added into left pane of popup box.
  • Just search for our target chip in search box, which is NXP LPC2148 in this case. Then Select LPC2148 from the list and hit on OK.
  • Next step is to add startup file, simply hit on Yes. Workplace is ready to write code for application development.

Keil
  • Now we need to add c file to write simple application. Go to File –> New –> We will get text file Save As this text file as main.c.
  • At this point we need to add this main.c file to our project tree. Right click on Target1 and click on Manage Project Items…

Keil Software Introduction

  • On a dialog box hit on Add Files and select main.c file and hit on Add button. Just click close and then hit on Ok. At this point main.c file is listed into source tree of project pane. Now we’re ready to write code.
  • Once we build our project, we will generate .HEX file to load onto LPC2148 ARM7 Microcontroller.
  • To find HEX file, we need to look into Project Folder –> Objects folder –> .HEX file.

We hope this tutorial will guide you through how to create project using Keil uVision5 for LPC2148 ARM7 Microcontroller. The procedure remains same even for other Microcontroller architectures such as ARM7, ARM9, and Cortex-R. Just make sure that you have installed proper legacy software packs for your target device. If in case you have any question regarding Keil uVision5. Please feel free to post into comment section. Thank You!!!
