AR-B7041 User¡¦s Guide

CAUTION: BS0 to BS6 are the memory bank select bits. For example, 128KB memory has sixteen 8K-byte banks, so 4 bits (BS0 to BS3) are needed.

Example 1: Select the 10th bank of the MEM4 on the AR-B7041. The AR-B7041 is using 27C020 (256K*8), and the base port is &H220.

100 base_port=&H220

110 OUT base_port+0,&H19

120 OUT base_port=1,&H13

Example 2: Select the last bank of MEM5 on the second AR-B7017 piggyback module. The AR-B7017 is using 27C040 (512K*8), and the base port is &H3A0.

200 base_port=&H3A0

210 OUT base_port+0,&H3F

220 OUT base_port+1,&H1C

5.2 EXPANDING THE AR-B7041’ S MEMORY CAPACITY

There are 2 ways to expand the AR-B7041’ s memory capacity. One is installing 2 AR-B7041 cards in one system and other is using the AR-B7017 memory expansion module.

Up to two AR-B7041 cards can be installed simultaneously. The AR-B7041 firmware will automatically link all of the AR-B7041 cards. In order to use multiple cards, be sure that the AR-B7041 firmware address and base I/O ports meet the following requirements:

All of the AR-B7041 cards must have contiguous I/O base port

Each AR-B7041 firmware address must be set to occupy a contiguous area of memory.

The following table illustrates all of valid settings:
