83Plus:Ports:04
Contents
Synopsis
Port Number: 04h
Function: Interrupting Device Identification and Memory Map Control
This port serves two purposes. When read it indicates the device that triggered an interrupt. When written it sets the memory map mode and hardware timer speed. When an interrupt is triggered, it should be cleared by reseting the corresponding bit in port 3. Otherwise, it will continuously call the interrupt code once interrupts are reenabled with ei.
Read Values
- Bits 0~2 and 4~7 are set according to which device triggered the running interrupt.
- Bit 0: Set if pressing the ON Key triggered the interrupt.
- Bit 1: Set if the first hardware timer triggered the interrupt.
- Bit 2: Set if the second hardware timer triggered the interrupt.
- Bit 4: Link activity generated an interrupt.
- 83+SE / 84+ only: Bit 5: First crystal timer has expired.
- 83+SE / 84+ only: Bit 6: Second crystal timer has expired.
- 83+SE / 84+ only: Bit 7: Third crystal timer has expired.
- Bit 3 is reset if the ON key is being pressed, set otherwise.
Write Values
- Bit 0 reset to select memory map mode 0. In mode 0 the RAM and ROM is mapped to CPU memory as follows:
- Bit 0 set to select memory map mode 1. In mode 1 the RAM and ROM is mapped to CPU memory as follows:
- Address 0000h ~ 3FFFh: ROM Page 0
- Address 4000h ~ 7FFFh: Memory Bank A, even page (value of port 06h ANDed with FEh)
- 83+ Basic: Address 8000h ~ BFFFh: Memory Bank A (Page selected in Port 06h)
- Everything else: Address 8000h ~ BFFFh: Memory Bank A, odd page (value of port 06h ORed with 1)
- Address C000h ~ FFFFh: Memory Bank B (Page selected in Port 07h)
- Bits 1 and 2 control the hardware timer frequency. Setting both 0 sets the timer to the fastest speed, and both 1 is the slowest speed. The normal speed is with both bits 1.

| 11 | 118 | 107.79 | 236 | 215.58 | 353 | 323.37 |
- Bits 4 and 5: No apparent effect
- Bits 6 and 7: On everything but the 83+, these two bits are used to determine the battery state. They act a 2 bit number and the higher it is, the higher the voltage cutoff for bit 0 or Port 2.
Comments
The calculator uses mode 0 for normal operation. If you change the memory map mode be sure to change it back before returning control. Also, do not switch from mode 0 to mode 1 inside the 4000h ~ 7FFFh range unless you've changed the RAM Execution Limits with ports 25 and 26. This is because switching modes in this manner will start executing on RAM page 0, which will crash under normal conditions.
Interrupt timers may not be independent of the CPU speed for the 83+. However on the 83+SE, 84+ and 84+SE the standard timers are based on the crystal timer. Timer1 fires at 32768/(64+(80*i))hz, where i is bit 1 and 2 set in port 4, making it 0<=i<=3.
Example
This example shows successful use of this port, switching to mode 1 and back. Mode 1 is the only way to execute code beyond address C000h on the 83+ Basic, unless you use a combination of ports 5 and 16 to enable execution on RAM page 00. (Assumes code is running from 4000h (i.e. an application))
