Hi all of you,

When I said resource poor I mean microcontrollers and not microprocessors. Ok may be on the pure electronics field an ATMega is a very high resource microcontroller. I say that because this:
Imagine for instance a TCP/IP stack on a x86 computer and a TCP/IP stack on a ATMega128. Thus I call this a resource poor processor when compared to x86 computers (my base skills are on computer science not it electronics field so may be I am saying a big mistake, but for me and for my project a ATMEga128 is a very resource poor "computer" ).

Well, here is the link to the other board:
NMIY-0031

Please, confirm this

As ATMega128, 8052 address memory in a flat fashion up to 64 kb and for more memory some extra "tricks" must be used, right?

If this is true, it there is free C compiler, a simulator (to avoid burn code on chip over and over again) and good documentation (and this working mailling list), if it has ic2, usar, interrupts, lcd I think it is fine.


Other detail:

The hability to make an elephant in a Mini car makes part of the project (it is also a challenge for the project).
Thus do not be alarm when I say that I want to put an Operating systen, high level communication stack (with RPC included), high level middleware, applications, etc on the 8052 :-)
This make part of the project. :-)



I will see also PIC16,18, MSP430 and Zilog and we talk again very soon.

Thank all of you

Alex
