#155663 - Still more precision needed
Responding to: ???'s previous message

Hi, I need to transfer a binary or ASCII file

You really need to know which one it is!

If it really does need to be arbitrary, then assume binary.

will be a some distance....Can i use ethernet or CAN controller to do the same?

Yes.

Serial communication over this distance will not be feasible.

Remember that both ethernet and CAN are serial!

What is the distance?

A binary file player residing in MCS'51 will convert the file to intel-Hex/requiste format and send it ahead to other devices.

Wouldn't it be more sensible to have the PC do the conversion, and send the file in the required format?
A PC is far better suited to such tasks than an 8051!


can i remotely (i.e through my PC over LAN etc) send a command to MCS'51 to exectue the program?

What program?

More likely, you would have a program in the 8051, and it would act on commands received from the PC

can MCS'51 inform me of any error occouring over ethernet to my PC?

Yes - provided you implement the appropriate software on it!
