Simulating
PROGx command for BASIC program storage in EEPROM
Date:
9/27/91
Not all 8052 microcontrollers support
BASIC’s PROG and PROGx commands, because they lack the hardware
necessary to perform the programming functions for EPROMs. Now, you can
use EEPROMs on all of Micromint’s 8052 microcontrollers by simply
appending the following lines to the end of your program.
EEPROMs have the advantage of NOT requiring special programming
voltages (as do EPROMs) and an EEPROM does NOT require erasure under
special UV lamps. The erasure is done electrically, prior to writing the
data. The only disadvantage is that an EEPROM’s byte write mode is
considerably slower than intelligent EPROM programming algorithms. Unlike
an EPROM which can be written, read, and verified immediately, the
EEPROM’s programming algorithm reads back the last data written with the
high-bit inverted until the self-timed write is completed. This requires
rereading the data until the device is timed out, pausing for 10ms prior
to the read. It is this delay that causes the normal EPROM programming
commands to fail with a “programming error” message.
EEPROMs are available from many manufacturers.

DO NOT apply any programming voltage.
Applying a programming voltage will permanently damage the EEPROM device.
If you are using the BCC52 or BCC52C, you
can use 8K EEPROMs.
If you are using the BCC52CX, you can use
32K EEPROMs.
If you are using the RTC52, you can use
8K or 32K EEPROMs.
Make sure the jumpers associated with the
socket in which you are using the EEPROM are configured for RAM. For
autostarting, the EEPROM must be located at 8000H. If you have contiguous
RAM in the system up through 7FFFH, your EEPROM will be tromped upon
unless you set mtop to below 8000H after initially powering up the board.
Also, make sure you use the proper PROGx command to save MTOP if your RAM
is contiguous, which prevents clobbering the EEPROM on autostart.
The BCC52 and BCC52C can be write
protected by removing jumper JP8. An onboard pullup will keep the RD/*WR
line to float. A pullup resistor must be added between pins 27 and 28 on
the memory socket holding the EEPROM to ensure write protection. Write
protecting an EEPROM is NOT essential, only an added security measure.
Storage of a BASIC program in the ROM (RAM) area is as follows:
8000H – ASC value of
‘X’ in the PROGx command
8001H – MSB of RCAP2
reload value (baud rate)
8002H – LSB of RCAP2
reload value (baud rate)
8003H – MSB of MTOP
(present value)
8004H – LSB of MTOP
(present value)
*****
8010H – ‘55H’
indicating a BASIC program
follows
8011H on up – BASIC
program (exact copy of code starting at 200H in low RAM)
Append this to your debugged program in lower RAM and executed it
with a ‘GOTO 10000’ command.
