 		 #147051 - Is it Still a bad idea????????
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Andy Neil said:
You didn't use _at_ for the internal XDATA, so why would you think that's the way to use the external XDATA?!


No i dont think its necessary to use the _at_ keyword for external XDATA but i want to specify absolute addresses in the External RAM for my data variables because i will be using the external RAM both as code memory and data memory.

Initially i had only planned to use the external RAM as Code memory but now since i am running out of even the data memory on my main processor so i have to use the External RAM as data memory too. For this reason i have to be aware of the exact locations of my external XDATA locations since my CODE that will run in the External RAM will also have variable declarations.

You need to configure the tools to match your target system and, thus, make use of all its resources!


Yes i have started reading the user manual of the KEIL Uvision.
