This board
provides:
64K ROM
64K RAM
The ROM base
address can bet set to any one of the 256 64K pages
addressable by the 68000 via DIP switches.
The RAM base
address can bet set to any one of the 256 64K pages
addressable by the 68000 via DIP switches.
By default,
when power is first applied or following a hardware
reset the RAM page is disabled and ROM appears at the
RAM page instead.
A memory access
cycle performed on an address anywhere in the ROM page
address space (as defined by the DIP switches) enables
the RAM page.
Setting the RAM
page to 00h means the vector table for the processor
resides in RAM, however at start-up the Stack Pointer
(SP) will be loaded with a 32-bit address stored in ROM
address 000000h and the Program Counter (PC) will be
loaded with a 32-bit address stored in ROM address
000004h.
This behaviour
can be disabled if not required. |
