SD RAM support on Windows Embedded CE 6.0

Asked By Sandeep

Hi All,

Here, I have a doubt regarding the Windows Embedded CE 6.0's capability of
addressing 512MB RAM from the kernel.

Since in oemaddrtable we can only specify the 512MB of Cached memory which
includes RAM as well as ROM.

Is there any mechanism to have 512MB RAM and 'x' MB of ROM (includes
registers, GPMC etc) in Windows Embedded CE 6.0?

On an x86 architecture you can actually map 512 MB of RAM since you do notneed

On an x86 architecture you can actually map 512 MB of RAM since you do not
need to waste oemaddress table entries as it happens with most SOC's where
you have to map the integrated peripherals.
On an ARM SOC with 512 MB of RAM and, let us say, 4 MB of integrated
peripherals (serial ports, controllers) you can map only 508 MB of  RAM. The
other 4MB can be used anyway with some
effort as explained, for example, in
