8031 "base 1" board

A question, a problem or a suggestion, don't hesitate : a little email

Back to Electronic blocks page

A first processor board with:

- 8031 (or 40 pins compatible controller),

- 8 à 32 ko of EPROM + 8 à 32 ko of RAM,

- Outputs to LCD display , extension,...

Very useful for software tests because (due to the GAL configuration) the program memory is mapped into the external data memory. So a program loaded in the external data memory (with the assembler of the electronic tools for example) may be executed (and debugged) as a standard program.

Will be later replaced by a board using the new connectors pinout.

In the future, I will use a derivative of the 8031 "base 2" board to have more standardized boards (connectors of the extension boards).

Take care to the memories configuration and use, if necessary, the adequate resistors. With the scheme you will find easily the place of the different components.

Here the source and binary file for the GAL (1ko) for 8ko of EPROM and 8ko of RAM (max) or here for 8ko of EPROM and 32 ko of RAM.

Solder side

The yellow wires modification is required to use a 32 ko RAM. She is not needed for the aquarium controller application.

The other modification (dark wire) is no longer required with this PCB version (was required to use a backlighted display).
