#181745 - Vectors
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Richard Erlacher said:
Does the 805x actually have "vectors" as some microprocessor/microcontrollers have?

No, it doesn't.

They are commonly called "vectors" - but they are not vectors in the same sense as used by architectures such as ARM and x86.
In these architectures, the vector points to the location at which execution should start.

As you say, the 8051's so-called "vectors" are actually just locations at wich execution will start.
