Now having said all that, I don't believe that you should reflexively dismiss the idea of multitasking on an 8051 in every situation. Craig Steiner said:
That's really all I'm saying. There are a lot of reflexive responses that reject the idea of multitasking on an 8051 and I'm just pointing out that such a reflexive response isn't necessarily fair anymore. I, far above said:
I don't say it is out of question, it's just questionable, if it's worth doing it on a '51. OK, my English is crappy and I don't know fancy words as "reflexively" and "dismiss". Also, if somebody speaks of "8051", it's very unlikely this means one of the top notch types - the OP would mention that. And an RD2, although certainly an improvement over the "vanilla", is far from being one of the steroid types. Also, my point is slightly different. I don't really want to discuss, whether a '51/derivative is or is not appropriate to run any variant of multitasking or whatever it's called. I just want to point out the limited view (and the inadequateness of education which results in this view) of newbies who automatically reach out for the most powerful tool to solve a problem. JW |
