SBC-GX1 Technical Manual Detailed hardware description
Static RAM
The SBC-GX1 is designed to support a 128K byte static RAM device. This device is
decoded using the same memory window as the Flash disk. Selection between Flash
and SRAM is achieved by setting bit 6 in I/O register 259H. If this bit is set to ‘logic 0’
(default) the flash devices are accessed. If this bit is set to ‘logic 1’ the SRAM is
accessed.
The static RAM device is powered from the on-board battery when the main supply is
removed to ensure that data is non-volatile.
Static RAM is not fitted as standard. If you require static RAM, please contact Arcom for
further information regarding build variants which support this part.
