Posted on November 22, 2007 at 20:36 Hi all,
I am trying to interface an ST10F269 to external RAM (located inside a spartan FPGA). I would like to memory map my ram in the empty space between 0x8000 and 0x9FFF. Unfortunately no matter how hard I try I cant seem to get external memory access to work to that location. With the startup file attached used, I set BUSCON2 to enable the external bus, and address to 0x8000, range 8k.
Here is the funny thing, out of desperation I went through every memory location while scoping the external bus to see when an access was being made. It turns out that external access is being made when I address the ranges 0xA800-0xAFFF and 0xE800-0xEFFF. Now the later address makes sense as that is the CAN and RTC peripherals that are not enabled, so addressing them results in external memory bus access. But the 0xA800-0xAFFF range doesn't make sense.
Anyways, there is still no external bus access in the 0x8000-0x9FFF range like I want...
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am out of ideas!
