Using all 64KB Locations of
External Memory
2512K–AVR–01/10
Since the External Memory is mapped after the Internal Memory as shown in Figure 11,
only 64,928 bytes of External Memory is available by default (address space 0x0000 to
0x025F is reserved for Internal Memory). However, it is possible to take advantage of
the entire External Memory by masking the higher address bits to zero. This can be
done by using the XMMn bits and control by software the most significant bits of the
address. By setting Port C to output 0x00, and releasing the most significant bits for nor-
mal Port Pin operation, the Memory Interface will address 0x0000 - 0x1FFF. See code
example below.
Note:
Care must be exercised using this option as most of the memory is masked away.
Assembly Code Example
C Code Example
#define OFFSET 0x2000
void XRAM_example(void)
{
unsigned char *p = (unsigned char *) (OFFSET + 1);
DDRC = 0xFF;
PORTC = 0x00;
SFIOR = (1<<XMM1) | (1<<XMM0);
*p = 0xaa;
SFIOR = 0x00;
*p = 0x55;
}
; OFFSET is defined to 0x2000 to ensure
; external memory access
; Configure Port C (address high byte) to
; output 0x00 when the pins are released
; for normal Port Pin operation
