Hello Community, I am new to PowerPC and I have the Freescale MPC5566EVB with me for experimenting with MPC5566. I am using CodeWarrior with PENexus Micro debugger. My aim is to develop a code for FMPLL and store it in MPC internal SRAM. Then I want to boot the device from the internal SRAM. I have two questions regarding this. 1. What is the configuration of BOOTCFG for booting from 'interna...

I have a Zilog development system (the Acclaim) and I need to add some SRAM. I'm running into a lot of problems finding 3 pcs. of 12 nS, 512K x 8 memory, so I would like to know if anyone has had problems mixing 12 nS with 15 nS SRAM. It looks like 15 nS memory should work because there is an added cycle (20 nS) anyway, but I'm hesitant to go forward unless I know that t...

Hi folks, I have a evaluation SBC (the LogicFlex from jkmicro http://www.jkmicro.com/technicalinfo/ti_logicflex.html ) with a 8 MB Flash DOC. Would anyone know whether a NV SRAM, capacity 4 MB to 8 MB, could be plug compatible, i.e. plug in and go ? I am not an embedded specialist (a systems integrator/ tinkerer who manages to solder a little with only the occasional finger singed )


8051 - SRAM interface problem

I've successfully interfaced a single 32K SRAM chip to a T89C51RD2. The CE pin is connected to the A15 line (P2.7) on the 8051. Happily unencumbered by any real digital design expertise I decided to piggy-back a second 32K chip (62256) onto the first one and add an inverter between the two CE lines. In theory only one of the chips should get selected now. However, the memory test fails ...


Low power memory

I posted about this issue a year ago, just revisiting. I've been looking for the lowest power any external memory chip can dissipate per megabyte and access speed. Low power SRAM is the first choice, but the estimated power for a constant series of bursts gets very expensive on power. Async SRAM takes longer to return, but should allow lower power. I've seen some nice PSRAM chips at re...

I've run into a problem with a little project I've been working on. The project is a flash loader utility for the TMS470 that runs from RAM and programs the flash with data coming in over a serial port. The micro is a TMS470R1A288, which is based on an ARM7TDMI core. There is 16K of on-chip SRAM starting at address 0x00400000; the flash loader code runs entirely from this SRAM. The flash l...

Hi, I am a newbee to this processor and trying to using ChipSelect feature available in this processor. Is the "CHIP Select" unit activated only by BIOS. If I connect Flash to UCS and SRAM to CS0 and just load assembly language file in FLASH, is it not possible to use CS? Will I have to load a BIOS telling the processor that CS0 is for SRAM and UCS is for FLASh? Thanks Learner

Hi, I'm building an embedded controller that uses the Dallas 89C420 ultra high speed micro with an external 32K SRAM. There's no external program memory - I'm using the internal flash for that. Right now it works just fine at 15Mhz with a 74HC373 address latch and a 70ns SRAM, however I want to run in clock doubled mode at 30Mhz. For this I figure I'll need to use a 74F373 latch instead...
