I am a student and have been instructed by the college to use MCU 8051 IDE with SDCC for learning microcontroller programming. I installed this software successfully on many HP devices in college but when I am trying to use it on my home Dell Inspiron 15 3000 laptop following happens:
Starting compiler ...
cd "E:\\Embedded Systems Practical"
sdcc -mmcs51 --iram-size 256 --xram-size 0 --code-size 8192 --nooverlay --noinduction --verbose --debug -V --std-sdcc89 --model-small "prac4.c"
The IDE gets stuck here. Even after aborting the IDE freezes and needs to be restarted. I tried multiple fresh installs on my PC but nothing works.
I brought a pre-compiled version from the college PC to verify that the error is with SDCC and the simulation works perfectly fine.
Can someone help me how to resolve the unknown error?
