Hi there.
I am a novice when it comes to embedded microprocessors and need help. I am attempting to port a VM (Virtual machine) to hardware (Similar to Basic VM of STAMP fame). The difference is it is going to be an Object Oriented language and is going to need more RAM than the PIC's I have been playing with.
the estimates at this point is around 64k Bytes at this point..... (a guess really).
Can I access external RAM using a PIC microcontroller? How?
From what I could read, it may be easier to use a simple 8051 derivative, or something like a 68k derivative.
This is hobby project, so free compilers, simple prototype boards etc. will make a difference.
any help appreciated! even if you can just point me in a direction.... ... like a link to an example of a hobby PIC project using external RAM.
Thanks Kobus.
