I want to make a good arduino handheld. Any idea how to program a simple menu for a adafruit 1.27 inch color display that will play games from sd card breakout board?
Hello rarecrocodile794
Take a view to get some ideas.
That is the tricky part. The ATmega range of processors can only use internal flash memory to run code. This is known as a Harvard architecture machine.
So you can't run code from an SD card and unless you have a special boot loader you can't program the flash from the SD card either. This "special" bootloader as far as I know doesn't exist but it might be possible to write one.
You could consider writing your code in an interpreted language :- Bitlash
I understand that will run from an SD card.
Some of the ARM based processors are von Neumann architecture so might also be able to load code in from an SD card, but I am not sure about if anyone has done this.
thanks
