#182562 - do You need EA controlled?
Responding to: ???'s previous message
i mean:
First 8kB of code can be allways active, bootloader has to be started allways on every reset. Bootloader examines some condition - port/pin state, serial comm timeout or something other. If condition is true - bootloader stays in reprogramming mode, if its false - check application CRC and if ok - jump to application entry point.

Reprogramming can be done in SRAM or in serial EPROM.

Off cource this can be done in modern 64kB flash chips without using Code SRAM.
SRAM/EEPROM method can be used for code>64k on limited to 64k device.

Bootloading using external RAM and EA switching?            01/01/70 00:00      
   Not sufficient!            01/01/70 00:00      
      Use single SRAM chip by tying PSEN to RD?            01/01/70 00:00      
         That qualifies as...            01/01/70 00:00      
            Experimentation ;)            01/01/70 00:00      
               No need for experimentation            01/01/70 00:00      
                  Fast-forward to 2010 or thereabouts            01/01/70 00:00      
                     It would be a pretty narrow window, but ...            01/01/70 00:00      
                        methinks the real reason            01/01/70 00:00      
                           That's true for program updates, but ...            01/01/70 00:00      
                           visualizing any case where the regular ISP/IAP is too slow            01/01/70 00:00      
                              ... and FRAM's pretty fast, too ...            01/01/70 00:00      
                                 Would have liked to have used FRAM...            01/01/70 00:00

      hmm            01/01/70 00:00      
         not surprised            01/01/70 00:00      
         Decided not to use EA (rather, shouldn't)            01/01/70 00:00      
            i'm confused by AT89S52            01/01/70 00:00
