Hi,

Does someone know how I can add external ram on my motorola? I have found 1 electrical schematic, but I don't know how to do the soft.
I have defined the adresse of my external RAM in the prm (code Warrior 3.1) from 68000 to 6BFFF

( Ram_externe = READ_WRITE 0x68000 TO 0x6BFFF;
DEFAULT_RAM INTO RAM, Ram_externe

and in my main, I have initialized my register :

MISC=0b00001110;
MODE=0b01111011;
PEAR=0b00101100;

And to see if I have access to my external RAM when my internal RAM is full I have made an array of 5000 caracters.

unsigned int far i;
unsigned int far tab[5000];

for (i=0; i<5000; i++)
{
tab[i]=0xFFCC;
}

So when I compile I have always got the same warning:
L1128: Cutting value StackOffset Startup data member from 0x6A80F to A80F.

And then it doesn't works.

Does someone can help me please?

I really thanks you.
Thomas

Basically the problem here is that some sections cannot be placed in banked RAM.

This is the case for the stack. remember that the stack pointer register is 2 byte wide

So you will not be able to get the stack on banked RAM.

If you are working in banked memory model, DEFAULT_RAM must also be placed in non-banked RAM.

In banked memory model make sure to allocate only sections defined with the PPAGE attribute in banked RAM.
