Re: [Flashforth-devel] free flash memory on atmega devices

[Mikael N. <mik...@fl...>]

You are right that extended memory words could be made
for data storage or even for code in flash.

But I have chosen not to implement that, since there has been no 
demand.

All my FF programs have been fairly compact fitting well within the 
16-bit limits.

One reason to support the larger chips is to get access to the 
peripherals, even if
all memory cannot be adressed.

Another alternative would be to implement a 32-bit FF. Then all memory 
would be adressable.
