Memory Map Window

Processor Expert | View | Memory Map

This window shows the CPU address space and internal and external memory mapping. Detailed information for an individual memory area is provided as a hint when the user moves cursor over it.

Legend:

	white: non-usable space
	dark blue: I/O space
	blue: RAM
	light blue: ROM, OTP or Firmware
	cyan: FLASH memory or EEPROM
	black: external memory

The address in the diagram is increasing upwards. The sizes of individual memory areas blocks drawn in the window are different from the ratio of their real sizes to improve readability of the information (Small blocks are larger and large blocks are smaller).

The black line-crossed areas show the memory allocated by a bean or compiler. The address axis within one memory block goes from the left side to the right (i.e. the left side means start of the block, the right side means the end).

Mouse Actions

If you move the mouse pointer to any part of the CPU address space, a detailed description of the chosen part will be displayed in the hint.
