Expand eeprom is it possible?

koze85

Hello

Is it possible to use the http://www.microchip.com/wwwproducts/Devices.aspx?dDocName=en010785·256KB instead of 64KB to expand memory in propeller. I searched the maxim database and i can see that other·characteristics·match·with the onboard 24LC256 -I/ST ? Has anyone expanded the memory of propeller ?

Thank you in advance

Hi koze85.

You said.
" xxxx - to expand memory in propeller."

It not Expand Memory IN Propeller - It give You only Extra storage capability.
HUB Memory is always 32KBytes and You can't expand it - Propeller always load only that portion of data from EEProm to run.

So is it possible to store program or portions of the program in eeprom and propeller use it when needed? or use two propeller chips instead to increase program size?

Hi koze85.

Yours 1 question - YES.

Yours 2 question - Some one on forum experiments with that - Don't know if he ended that project. But it is not so simple.
Some added external MEM - Look on Triblade, Morpheus - Threads.
