MAP
The MAP command allows specifying memory areas that are not detected automatically by µVision. If applications use memory-mapped I/O devices or access the memory dynamically through pointers, developers might need making changes to the memory map. µVision checks each memory access and throws a memory access violation message in the Command window when an invalid access is made.
| Syntax | Description |
|---|---|
| MAP | Displays the current memory map. |
|
MAP startAddr, endAddr READ WRITE EXEC VNM |
Maps the specified memory range, from startAddr to
endAddr, and defines the access rights (read, write,
and execution). The memory map supports 1-byte granularity.
The VNM option identifies the memory range as a von Neumann memory, and can be used with 80x51 microcontrollers. When VMN is specified with an address range, µVision overlaps the external data memory (XDATA) and code memory. Write access to external data memory also changes the code memory. A memory range specified as VNM cannot be a range from the code area and may not cross a 64K boundary. The address range specified must be from the external data area. |
| MAP startAddr, endAddr CLEAR | Clears a mapped memory range that was defined previously with the MAP command. |
When µVision loads, the following memory maps are defined.
| CPU | Address Range | Access |
|---|---|---|
| 8051 Family | 0x000000-0x0000FF (DATA) | READ WRITE |
| 0x010000-0x01FFFF (XDATA) | READ WRITE | |
| 0xFF0000-size of code (CODE) | EXEC READ | |
| 251 Family | 0x000000-0x00041F (DATA) | READ WRITE |
| 0x008000-0x008010 (CODE BANK) | EXEC READ | |
| 0x010000-0x01FFFF (XDATA) | READ WRITE | |
| 0xFF0000-0xFFFFFF (CODE) | EXEC READ | |
| 166 Family | 0x000000-0x00FFFF | EXEC READ WRITE |
µVision supports up to 16MB of memory for 80x51 and 166 microcontrollers. This memory is divided into 256 segments of 64K each. The default 8051 and 251 memory spaces are assigned by µVision to the segments with the numbers listed in the following table.
| Segment Value | Memory Space |
|---|---|
| 0x00 | MCS-51 DATA segment,
0x00:0x0000—0x00:0x00FF. MCS-251 EDATA segment, 0x00:0x0000-0x00:0xFFFF. |
| 0x01 | MCS-51 and MCS-251 XDATA segment 0x01:0x0000-0x01:0xFFFF. |
| 0x80-0x9F | MCS-51 and MCS-251 Code Bank 0 through Code Bank
31. 0x80 Code Bank 0, 0x81 Code Bank 1, etc. |
| 0xFE | MCS-51 and MCS-251 PDATA segment 0xFE:0x0000-0xFE:0x00FF. |
| 0xFF | MCS-51 and MCS-251 CODE segment 0xFF:0x0000-0xFF:0xFFFF. |
For security reasons and for detecting illegal memory accesses, it is recommended to map only the required memory areas. In addition, mapping huge amounts of memory could slow down the execution speed of µVision.
Note
- Mapping less than 256 bytes of XDATA for 8051-compatible devices may cause problems. The 8051 supports a fast method of accessing 256 bytes of XDATA using the MOVX @Ri instructions. When more than 256 XDATA bytes are mapped, µVision uses the contents of P2 and P0 to resolve the full 16-bit address. When fewer than 256 XDATA bytes are mapped, µVision uses only the contents of P0, and P2 is ignored. Therefore, XDATA memory must start at the beginning of a segment (by default is 0x01:0x0000 to 0x01:0x00FF).
- For 80x51 microcontrollers, the startAddr and endAddr can contain a Memory Type Specifier.
- The command RESET MAP clears all mapped segments and restores the default mapping.
- The dialog Memory Map shows the memory mapping in a window.
