Keil Uvision 4 on Ubuntu

Hey all,
            i'm here to help you people out with installing keil in ubuntu.

Now you people might think.Can we really install programs with .exe extensions?
Well,here's an answer to you people "yes"?.

Wine is a powerful software(free software!) that aims to allow computer programs written solely for microsoft windows to run on linux environment.

if you want to know more about it.Here is a link on its articles:




Here are few simple steps to install wine :
  1. open terminal Applications>accessories>terminal
    2. Type the following command to install wine (you must be connected to
         internet):
                sudo apt-get install wine
    3. After installing wine to make it create duplicate "c:"drive configure it by 
        typing "winecfg" in terminal.


Install keil in wine by getting into the location where installation file is located in terminal by



                 "wine file_name.exe"
if file extension is other than exe type: " wine start file_name.abc"


hurray! installation is done.

next i'll be teaching how to use keil.

    1. @Kowshik Varma: This is not error, it is only a limitation that it cannot debug code of size greater 2K. To overcome that limitation you should buy the full version of KEIL Uvision.
      Normally small programs can easily be debugged without upgrading.

  4. Hi Naveen,

    I have a strange problem while I tend to debug my code. I purchased a parallel port debugger for LPC2129 from Rhydolabz, Kerala, India.
    This is the debugger I am using
    http://www.rhydolabz.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=78&products_id=270

    In "debug" tab of "Options for this target" box, I selected ULINK ARM debugger. But it shows "No ULINK device found in "ARM Target Driver SETUP".

    Do you know how to fix this issue?
