I guess you do not have JTAG access to this device and can step-debug. But
it looks like you have GPIOs that you could access with a logic analyzer.

I haven't reviewed Your code, but here are some ideas:
- interrupt tables not correctly initialized
- missing volatile qualifier in variables shared between task and interrupt
context. This is a common mistake, especially when one side uses this
variable in a loop (task waiting for a flag) and never observes a change
because the variable value is kept in a register.

Possible strategies when you cannot debug with JTAG:
- use a GPIO and a logic analyzer to output serialized data at certain
checkmarks to see whether the program works correctly.
- decompose your application, make sure that the peripherals are working one
after another

And that makes me wonder if you are the only person on the planet trying to
do this. This looks like a hobby project. Is IAR even used among hobbyists?
If you want to show-case multi-toolchain development with Qbs, why 8051? I
doubt that any company uses 8051 for new projects. At least, companies would
build upon a large legacy codebase and infrastructure (we have done this for
30 years...) . Why should anybody invest time in using Qbs on 8051?
However, your project looks exotic enough to be fun :)
