sms hex translator

I have SMS kit (Silicon Chip).
It is based on AT microcontroller and it has come with pre-programmed chip. However, the HEX file can be downloaded fro Silicon Chip web site.
Is there any chance of disassembling this hex file and translate it to common 8051 source code?
 

That should be easy. You need a disassembler. Try out the following. Or search google for many more.

This project is based not on 8051 but it uses the AT90S8515, so running this hex file through common 8051 disassembler will not produce anyting usefull.
Correct me if I am wrong, but for me this will have to be done "by hand" having both microcontrollers, the AT90... and 8051, sets of instructions and addresses of bits and registers ..
I really don't think you will find any simpler way of translating this code to the 8051 sourc file ..
Good luck and regards ..

But first I have to disassembly this HEX file.
Any further suggestions?
Thanks.
 

You could either try to find a disassembler for AT90 controllers, or you can do a hand disassembly. It is tedious but possible. Depends how much you want the source code.
 

Just get IDA Pro - it supports whole AVR family.
