[FRAM71] Bankswitching?
In a recent e-mail, Dave Frederickson pointed out to me that it would be nice to be able to access all 512kB of FRAM, by using some sort of bank switching scheme. i find this idea quite intriguing and FRAM71's FPGA still has ample amount of free logic available (as per V.421) to handle such a task. alas... i'm short on ideas of how to implement that to gain maximum use from such a feature. when looking at the used FRAM address space (nibble addresses),
00000-1FFFF is reserved for diagnostic/alternate O/S,
20000-2BFFF is unused,
2C000-2C01F is reserved for Memory Configuration,
2C020-2FFFF is unused,
30000-FFFFF is reserved for the 0..12 configurable Memory Chips.
that gives basically the range 20000-2BFFFF as a possible candidate for bankswitching.
so, what can we do with that? is it worth a try in the light of the amount of FRAM already available?
what's your take on this, valued users?
