C51: Interfacing Flash AT29C512 with AT89C51

"if this is right..."

Again, the Datasheet will tell you whether it is right or not.

Have you read the Datasheet?

ya
it is a serial flash

"it is a serial flash"

Good.

Now, back to the Datasheet: what kind of serial interface does it have?

If it is a standard type (eg, I2C or SPI) you should be able to easily find sample code;

If it is non-standard, it will be fully defined by the manufacturer somewhere - maybe in the datasheet, maybe in a separate document.

Either way, check the manufacturer's site first for examples, guidance, etc...

its standard type with SPI interface,
so where do we find the sample code,
Google?

Of course, Google like to blow their own trumpet: "Google is now widely recognised as the world's largest search engine -- an easy-to-use free service that usually returns relevant results in a fraction of a second"
www.google.co.uk/.../index.html

There are other internet search engines; eg,
http://www.altavista.com/

To be able to effectively use such tools is absolutely essential - so start practising now!

You will also find plenty of examples included in the 'Examples' folder in your Keil installation, and the downloads section of this site.

You should also check-out the SST site for Application Notes, examples, etc, etc,...

Sir, you are udderly confoosed

you keep babhbling about a 32 but address NONSENSE.

buth are 512kBIT devices which makes them 64kBYTE devices i.e.having a 16 bit address.

Erik

sir, am trying my first hand at these things,
In the data sheet, the address is sent as 32 bit,
so for device id it is written as 0x00000,
so also in the timing diagram

probably you could patiently explain as you seem an expert to novices

Thanks,

the AT29C512 is 16 bit address

I'd suggest you leave the SST25VF512 alone. As opposed to many serial memories, it requires separate page/chip erase, not just write. Have a look at the offereings that just require a write from e.g. Ramtron.

Of course, since you have not stated what you want to store on the serial flash, I may be off here.

Erik

"am trying my first hand at these things"

What you really need to learn is how to find the necessary materials for yourself.

It goes something like this:

Go to the SST website, and type "SST25VF512" into the search box in the top-right corner.

That will take you to a page all about the SST25VF512;
Down the left-hand side, you will see a box headed "Product Resources"
In that box, you will see links for 'Application Notes' etc.

You should explore these links - you may well find that your questions are answered there!

thanks a lot,

got the receive data part right , not bad, for a start i suppose
the sample surely helped in sending data
though not able to find why the data is not being sent on the hyperterminal

P1 = byte;
ACC = byte;
SBUF = ACC;

any thing to be added to this?

where/what is the UART initialize code?

TMOD = 0x20;
TH1 = -3;
SCON = 0x50;
TR1 =1;
TI = 0;

using sector erase to see if few bytes of data can be written and read back properly,
On serial flash , a program with a large memory requirement will be stored,
thats why we are interfacing the serial flash

thanks,

the initialize code is in Main() program
with 4800 or 9600 baud

sir,
have tried at this
just not getting data on hyperterminal
though it is being transmitted from 8051,
displeyed thru port-1 also,

this is the code which i used:

#include<reg51.h>
#include<stdio.h>

Rx();
Tx();

void main (void){
        TMOD = 0x20;
        TH1 = -3;               // 9600 baud, SMOD = 0;
        SCON = 0x50;    // 8 bit, 1 stop, REN-1
        TR1 = 1;
        TI = 0;
        Rx();
}

Rx(){
        while (1){              //(RI=1){
                ACC = 0000;
                ACC = SBUF;
                P1 = ACC;
                Tx();
                RI = 0;
                Rx();
        }
}

Tx(){
        // ACC = (ACC + 48);
        SBUF = ACC;
        while(TI){
                TI = 0;
        }
}
