8051 Assembling a Program

Following are the steps to create an executable assembly program

Editor: It is to create source (myfile.asm) file with extension asm or src. The asm extension for the source file is used by an assembler.

Assembler: It converts the assembly language instructions into machine code. The assembler will produce an object file (.obj) and a list file (.lst). List file lists all the opcodes, addresses and errors, if detected, in program

Linker: It takes one or more object files and produces an absolute object file with the extension abs

OH: It is an object to hex converter. It creates a file with extension hex that is ready to burn into ROM

List File:
It lists all the opcodes and addresses as well as errors that the assembler detected. The programmer uses the list file to find syntax errors. It is only after fixing all the errors indicated in the lst file that the obj file is ready to be input to the linker program.
