#125417 - 8051 >>> ARM
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Hello,

Thanks for your comments; I was out of town; so unable to reply;

As i read one message; that during the design our project increased; 1st we use AT89C51; that time system was small; after development software; features requirement increased; we create it more & more features; start using code banking; instead of thinking to replace the controller etc.

Now the code around 95K +, and getting problems in the system; try with 22.1184 crystal; but all in vain.

Need to rewrite the whole code with readymade RTOS; as our RTOS need more correction; or transplant with Keil RTX51;

Still confuse if we transplant with RTX51, is our system improved his performance; or better to use new controller with Readymade RTOS like Keil.

As when any body write a big amount of code; lot of bug may occurs during the developments; need to fix; so we chose external EP-Rom of 128K, and boot program in micro controller; so any time need to update the software; we can sent the eprom chips as well as sent the "bin" files via e-mail;

and during the whole project; we feel that requirement is around 128K or max 256K size of code; 1K internal SRAM with enough;

All the other IC's i.e. MT8816,MT8888,MT8870,74HCT374,74HCT245,74HCT00,74HCT14,HT1380,DS12C887,MAX232CP, ISD2560,LM324, LM393 etc are operating on 5V, so searching the 5V ARM micro controller;

the ARM Compiler Available with keil; so rest assured for sturdy performance of compiler;

We already seen the demo of Keil 251 compiler; but no RTOS support available from Keil; also the controller are not suitable for our project; if we want to use 128 k external memory; we have to share RD / RW pins;

if we tried for 16bit; investment are more in compiler's and other tools; and after few days if we found the same problem; than we have to think for close the project or we loose from the heart;

And cost are major point to decide; as X2BN are available in 50 cent only; but we can afford more cost for micro controller;

I seen the LPC2101 from Philips; and feel comfortable for present requirement;

any way more comments are welcome.

regards to all.

            not 5 volts?            01/01/70 00:00      
               Not exactly ...            01/01/70 00:00      
                  "real-world" or "old-world"?            01/01/70 00:00      
                     can't deny it ...            01/01/70 00:00

   Current processor?            01/01/70 00:00      
      after 8051            01/01/70 00:00      
         Nothing to do with ARM            01/01/70 00:00      
         Why 8051?            01/01/70 00:00      
            Crystal            01/01/70 00:00      
            Crystal            01/01/70 00:00      
               You didn't answer the question!            01/01/70 00:00      
                  some thoughts            01/01/70 00:00      
                     Needs more thought!            01/01/70 00:00      
               you say you need performance, are you even thin            01/01/70 00:00      
                  only 20MHz in the 6-clock mode            01/01/70 00:00      
                     only 20MHz in the 6-clock mode            01/01/70 00:00      
                        yeah...            01/01/70 00:00      
                           not QUITE hopeless            01/01/70 00:00      
                        the whole thread seems a waste of effort            01/01/70 00:00      
                           Understatement!            01/01/70 00:00      
         you might want to stick to '51... or not...            01/01/70 00:00      
         Why that crystal frequency?            01/01/70 00:00      
   that is SOME design            01/01/70 00:00      
      Strange Design            01/01/70 00:00      
         an example            01/01/70 00:00      
            bugger..            01/01/70 00:00      
               They had an 8-pin and a 14-pin PIC, didn't they?            01/01/70 00:00      
   ALL of the above is a pie in the sky            01/01/70 00:00      
      Maybe it is for a PABX?            01/01/70 00:00      
      DS80C390            01/01/70 00:00      
         I thought that, too. Why dig deeper?            01/01/70 00:00      
            What does Sandeep Gupta say?            01/01/70 00:00      
               8051 >>> ARM            01/01/70 00:00      
                  Look at the code before changing cpu            01/01/70 00:00      
                  Sandeep Gupta must be a manager            01/01/70 00:00      
                     Blinded by the problem            01/01/70 00:00      
      5V ARM            01/01/70 00:00      
         Well, that's interesting!            01/01/70 00:00      
   have you considered a multiprocessor            01/01/70 00:00
