Hi! I'm desperate! I have a ADuC824 with 4 MB of flash memory attached using the 824's feature of being able to access upto 16MB of external memory. I'm trying to use the flash as external memory. However I cannot get out of the 64K XDATA limit. Even using the examples and using far I cannot write/read more than 64K. What I need is a way of creating a pointer to 4MB of XDATA. If is use "char XDATA *BASE_ADDR" then I only get to use 64K and "far *BASE_ADDR" doesn't work. Can anyone help? All the best Andrew Manning
Due to the address arithmetic implemented on the 8051, far memory objects are limited to a maximum size of 64KB. However, take a look to the Philips 80C51MX application note that describes way to bypass the 64KB address limitation. Therefore refer to: http://www.keil.com/appnotes/docs/apnt_160.asp
Hi! How do I use the 'EXTERN' keyword? ATB
