Hello :)
I am new to 8051 family programming and I have a question. I would like to know if there is anyway, somehow, to put another software in a memory and load it from 8051 to run on it. It would work similar to plugins :)
Speaking in C language, it would be like a function inside the memory that do something. That function receives a pointer to a structure that has many other functions that the main software inside the microcontroller has, like display things on a screen. Well, is very similar to plugins :)
Is this possible? With other microcontroller maybe?
If I said something wrong or confuse please, let me know! Thank you!
HI.
yes it is posibble and quiet easy. it can be like the bios of a pc runnning apps. but you will probebly have to wright it all.
look at the upsd from st. you can map different flash blocks to one adress. so good.
but do not look for the scatter file in 8051 from Tapeer. he an arm man and does not know the 8051 uvision projects do not have scatter files.
Always yo're freind.
