Free Pascal compiler for 8051

Here you can download the latest version of Turbo51 - a free Pascal compiler for 8051. Installation is very simple: just unzip downloaded file with it's folder structure. It is a good idea to include path to Turbo51.exe in the system PATH variable. To write your code you can use any IDE or editor of your choice. You can find some proposals on the IDE page.

Before you download and install Turbo51 you should read and accept the License Agreement. Turbo51 is released as a freeware. Developing it takes up a considerable amount of my time. If you are using Turbo51 for commercial projects or just like Turbo51 and you would like to support further development, you can donate some small amount via PayPal. Donations are a great way to show your appreciation for my work. Besides being an incredible boost to my morale, they are also a great incentive to fix any bug you find in my software and to add new features.
