#153151 - Yes, it's possible
Responding to: ???'s previous message

nope


That seems like a wrong answer, or at least a poor generalization.

Karim, yes, it's possible. But as has been said elsewhere in the thread, the 8052 probably isn't the best choice for it.

A few years ago I started designing precisely that, along with Phillip Gallo. Phillip got the video working and we were designing an OS to be able to dynamically load programs and OS components from a Secure Digital (SD) card.

It's definitely possible. The project stopped advancing primarily because it was a project we were doing as a hobby and we ran out of time, not because it was technically impossible.

Craig Steiner
