What is an MCB152?

The MCB152 is a microcontroller board that can load and debug programs in RAM and then run them. The device contains an Intel processor, which is a derivate of the 80C51BH and respects the standard Intel memory architecture. This ensures a 100 percent compatibility with most existing 8051 software. In addition to the standard 8051 functionality, the 80C152jb has an on-board multi-protocol communication controller called the Global Serial Channel (GSC). This makes the MCB152 exceptionally suitable for wired and wireless high-speed communication at up to 2Mbit.

The MCB152 Kickstart firmware is contained in an 8kbytes EPROM and offers a full functioning Intel-HEX loader, ASCII-dumper, disassembler, debugger and an entire library of functions which is copied to CODE memory at power-on.

This approach makes the MCB152 a must have for on the flow development of both hardware and software.
