#117226 - program ROM? Responding to: ???'s previous message |
I won't answer your question, but if you want to be able to change program on-the-fly, chose a type with sufficient internal FLASH and in-situ programmability - virtually any contemporary clone of '51 except the simplest.
I'd also suggest to use UART-ISP-able clones, rather than SPI-ISP-able (AT89Sxxxx from Atmel represent the latter). My favorites are the RD2 subfamily (e.g. AT89C51ED2 from Atmel and P89V51RD2 from Philips). Avoiding external program memory your SBC will also shrink to absolute minimum - the mcu itself, some sources, a reset circuit and the crystal or oscillator. You will be able to stitch it together within a couple of minutes on any protoboard, no dedicated PCB necessary. Jan Waclawek |
