Re: memory management and organization

RAM is 2048 bytes (8 banks at 256 bytes each), but 256 bytes of that are used for SFRs (special function registers). These things control the settings for all the functions on the processor.

96 bytes of bank 0 and 160 bytes of bank 15 are used for SFRs. That leaves us with 1792 bytes of variable space.
