EEPROM Memory for Setup

The EEPROM is used for setup and configuration data, stored as an alternative to the CMOS-RTC. Option-
ally, the EEPROM setup driver may update the CMOS RTC, if the battery is running down and the checksum
error would appear and stop the system. The capacity of the EEPROM is 2 kByte.

Organization of the 2048Byte EEPROMs:

System Memory Map

The X86 CPU, used as a central processing unit on the MICROSPACE, has a memory address space which
is defined by 32 address bits. Therefore, it can address 1 GByte of memory. The memory address MAP is as
follows:
