The eZ80 has a 24-bit linear address space. Layout:

• 000000h: Start of flash. The first 128 K are locked boot sectors. The first 8 are divided into 8 K sectors, all of which are locked. The certificate is now a single 64 K sector, so I hope you don't crash while rebuilding it.
• 000066h: Flash exception handler. Write-to-flash without permission triggers the non-maskable interrupt to fire.
• 00007Eh: Hardware/Emu flag: This byte indicates whether the ROM is a hardware ROM or emulator.
• 000080h: Start of boot code jump table.
• D00000h: Start of RAM. 256 K.
• D40000h: Start of VRAM. 320x240x2 bytes = 153600 bytes.
• E00000h: Start of memory-mapped I/O address spaces.

SafeRAM Areas:

• D031F6h: pixelShadow - 8400 bytes
• D052C6h: pixelShadow2 - 8400 bytes
• D07396h: cmdPixelShadow - 8400 bytes
• D09466h: plotSScreen - 21945 bytes
• D0EA1Fh: saveSScreen - 21945 bytes
  • Note that the above is contiguous, which provides a total linear free space of 69090 bytes of RAM.
  • pixelShadow2 is the most stable; and is a viable option for testing TSRs and hooks.
