problem of 9s12dp512 memory map?

[jeffzxg]

hi all

    dp512 has the following on chip resource:  1K register; 4K eeprom; 14K ram; 512K flash; where two 16K unpaged flash is located at $4000 ~ $7fff and $c000 ~ $ffff. and the reset address space for register is $0000 ~ $03ff ; eeprom is $0000 ~ $0fff ; ram $0800 ~ $3fff. priority is register > ram > eeprom > flash.

    so after reset the available space for register is 1K($0000~$3ff) ; ram 14K ($800 ~ $3fff) ; eeprom 1K ($400 ~ $7ff), but i want to fully use of 4K eeprom and 14K ram , so i have to remap the memory map of eeprom and ram space.

    ram space  extended to  next 16K address space ($4000 ~ $7fff) , according to the priority of on chip resource, the unpaged flash block ( $4000 ~ $7fff ) is overlapped.

    my question is: if  the unpaged flash block ( $4000 ~ $7fff ) is overlapped, does that mean i can not place any application code to that area? if it is right, is there any method that can use the overlapped flash areas?

                                           thanks!

If you overlap part of unpaged 4000-7fff flash by RAM or EEPROM, then this overlapped flash is not accessible as unpaged flash, but it can be accessed as paged flash on PPAGE 3E.

I would move not 14k RAM but 4k EEPROM to 4000-4FFF. It would cover less of valuable unpaged flash. Unpaged flash is effective place to store const strings and const data. Accessing data from paged flash is cumbersome on S12.
