#98267 - Re: Expand your 8051 memory
Responding to: ???'s previous message

It's not that easy. When a MOVC is used in the
application then the data fetched must not be
'translated' into an LJMP/LCALL opcode, it must
be unchanged.

How do we know this? The 8051 has no signal that
the first opcode byte of an instruction is fetched,
therefore that external hardware must implement an
opcode-decoder to know what is going on.

This opcode-decoder however, requires knowledge
of the 8051 chip used, because the instruction
execution behaviour, the clock cycles used, may
be different to the standard intel 8051 core,
and in many modern 8051 cores really are different.

The article about memory expanding looks pretty
nice, but as stated above, it's not that easy.

Best regards,
J. Christoph
