  I am student of first year electronics, I want to develop a circuit using 8051. I have the 8051 chip (AT89S51) but don't know how to transfer code into it. I searched and found that I need a burner, but when I searched for burner, I found many development board, do I have to purchase dev board? And also It will be great help if somebody tell me how to use that burner?

  You can purchase one programmer from here:- #-Link-Snipped-#

  you don't need to purchase such expensive boards, if you just want to burn code. You can find many inexpensive ISP burners like

  Also you need one software for burning purpose like Flash Magic or ProgISP etc. I also started some time back and faced the same problem, one tutorial I want to share, which was very help ful for me:

  I read somewhere that with an RS232 voltage level shifter chip in between, serial communication could be achieved with 8051 from PC and the same channel could be used to burn code without any extra hardware. I don't have hands on experience there! Some one has to confirm!

  To be more specific AT89s51/52 do have UART for serial communication. You'll need MAX232 too.
