Dear Sir/Madam,
I'm using At89C51Ed2 controller based controller board. In that board has the following interfaces
1. External Flash of 64Kb 2. External SRAM of 64Kb 3. Digital I/O 4. ADC 6. Display (LCD display)
Platform: Windows Xp3. Tools: Keil and Flash Programmer Flip.
My question is, Is there any potability to flash external Flash memory by using Flip software?
Can i execute code from external flash? is there any setting as per data sheet EA have to configure.
Regards , Thiru N
"... and not a specific means to implement that functionality? Isn't it the developers role to be the expert when selecting good ways to implement the requested functionality?"
I guess it depends whether the customer is actually seeking a designer, or simply outsourcing coding...?
Whatever it may be, now have to implement this feature. we are not out sourcing the software. have any idea?
Regards Thiru N
the problem you have is that !CE is only checked at reset.
to switch between internal and external memory, you will need an external flip-flop.

PS your customer is crazy, EDUCATE HIM. (s)he evidently does not have any idea that todays '51 derivatives have plenty internal code storage
I meant your customer is outsourcing the coding to you.
Thank you,
>>to switch between internal and external memory, you will need an external flip-flop
its already taken care.
I need to convert .hex file to .bin?, to execute from external flash ? or is there any other method to do....?
Have any example codes which are running from external flash? if so please provide me.
>>PS your customer is crazy, EDUCATE HIM
I tried to convince him, but he is not accepting. unfortunately have to implement it.
No, we have prove our board, its working with external flash also.

.hex and .bin are purely to do with files on the host system (PC, or whatever).
It's entirely up to you how you transfer the data from the PC to the target...
Yes i'm transferring .bin file from PC to target through serial port (file transfer)
