MMU implementation.

Can a software memory management unit
be implemented on a 8032 microcontroller ?

    What exacly do you mean by, "an application like MP3"?
    Do you actually have the 8051 running the MP3 decoding algorithms?
    I'd have thought that was quite a challenge for an 8051 running directly from Flash without any code banking - let alone the paged scheme you're proposing!! :-0

  • Hi Neil,
    Iam using a SOC with an inbuilt
    8032 and DSP. Currently, it is running
    an MP3 application and definitely code
    banking is done.
    My client wants me to design the application such that only 32kB code is executed at a time.
    He wants to replace the 8032's
    128kB SRAM with a 32KB SRAM in his future
    design. So, that's the task.
