Setting Processor Internal Memory Size to any Value

Altium Designer allows you to set the size of internal memory for a supported 32-bit processor to any value. Rather than selecting from a predefined list of memory sizes, as was the case in the Summer 09 release, you are now able to enter the size you require in bytes – giving you the finest control possible over the size of memory used, and in accordance with design requirements.

When configuring a processor, simply enter the value required in the Internal Processor Memory field. A value can be entered in the following formats:

• Integer value for the number of bytes (e.g. 4096 for 4KB)

• Use of a multiplier suffix (e.g. 4K for 4KB)

• Hexadecimal value for the number of bytes (e.g. 0x1000 for 4KB)

The value specified will be reflected on the symbol for the processor (when placed on a schematic sheet) in hexadecimal format.

You have full control over the size of the internal memory for a supported 32-bit processor, with the ability to enter any value at byte-level resolution.
