Due to the requests I have received concerning how to download data,

and my own dilemma of downloading PC wav files, this file transfer

program using the KERMIT protocol was written. Prior to this, I had
to convert files to the "INTEL" hex format ( I refer to it as a
papertape reader) and use the reader normally used for code to
transfer the data. This took awhile because for each 16 bytes of
data there are 44 bytes in a hex file. This program is written in
assembly, the highest level language there is :-) and uses the
little known instruction "movx @r0,a" where P2 is modified to the
page address. (I would have designed two 16 bit regs) I've heard
this may not work on some clone '51's. I use the METALINK assembler
though any should work and all the associated files are included in
the main programs (I51RECV.ASM ) for receiving files and
(I51XMIT.ASM) for transferring files to the remote. All that is
needed is all the files be in the same directory. Either hex file is
then loaded to the 8051 using the hex reader previously mentioned.
The fopen function is a pointer initialization to where in memory
the data should go. The FWRITE function then moves the packet data
to that memory. The fread gets data from memory for subsequent
encoding. The FCLOSE does nothing at present but could be used for
other types of memory. The file (I51HEDR.INC) needs to be changed
to suit your specific memory configuration. As an example my test
unit has 32k of ram memory and a small bootloader rom that is switch
off after loading into ram. PSEN is or'd with RD so that code can
be executed in ram, hence the close range of rom to ram with no
overlap. My monitor is from 0000h to 1fffh. 2000h to 2fffh is for
floating point routines and extended math functions. The kermit code
is loaded at 3000h to 33ffh and the data for kermit is at 3400h to
35ffh. 3600h to 3fffh is still available, but for simplicity, files
from KERMIT are loaded starting at 4000h and can go to 7fffh. Thats
a maximum of a 16k file (about a two second wav file at 8000khz).
After fixing my monitor to accept 8 bit data (by removing the anl
a,07fh), ascii text and binary image files download successfully.
I'll be adding a front-end that'll request the start address and
direction.
