Hi, I like to simulate the program larger than 8KB via Keil monitor, and separate the functions and constant data and put constant data to a extra eeprom.
The steps I did are as follows. 1. My test board has a eeprom for bank-switching. 2. Genrated 2 hex file, bank 1 and common area. (xxx.hex and xxx.h00) 3. Loading xxx.h00 to the eeprom early. 4. Using "Start the debug session" to start the simulation.
Got a Monitor Error and "illegal write access at CODE address ...etc."
Please give a help. Tks.
"And if the bitmap data is stored by xdata type, the is required to be initialized every time when the system start-up."
Not necessarily
Remember, "XDATA" is not synonymous with "RAM" nor even "Volatile memory".
As far as the 8051 is concerned, XDATA is merely a memory address space - your hardware may map RAM into that space, or ROM, or memory-mapped peripherals - or some combination.
