The FC1178BC is essentially a “classic” 8051 MCU with a few modern peripherals and a generous flash size for its class. Its low cost (often <$1 in bulk) makes it popular with hobbyists and small‑volume manufacturers. | Use‑Case | Why FC1178BC? | |----------|---------------| | Simple sensor node | Small flash + ADC, low power consumption | | Infrared remote control | Built‑in PWM for LED drivers, UART for debugging | | DIY hobby projects | Cheap, widely available, supported by open‑source toolchains | | Prototype of a commercial product | Pin‑compatible with many 8051 families, easy migration to larger FirstChip families later |

/* Simple software loop – not accurate, just for demo */ while (ms--) for (volatile unsigned long i = 0; i < 1200; ++i) __asm__("nop");

void main(void)

#include "fc1178bc.h" // Header provided by the SDK

#define LED_PIN P1_0 // Example: Port 1, bit 0

Re: boatinfo.no Manuals

I have noticed the same problem. I'm using the 5.7 Gi-D manual, and SX/DPS outdrive manual.
