Re: [N8VEM: 18771] Motorola MC68020 Project Ideas




> Imho, as we discussed the topic some time ago, the big PITA in such approach is how to write (or read-back if needed) this paging LUT without disturbing all other CPU activities

The designs I have seen bypass the MMU in supervisor mode. Even on very modern systems MMU reloading is somewhat disruptive so from the OS side its not a big deal. With a CPU cache that becomes even more true

I don't know how they switched the lut accesses around so you got mmio access to the LUT however.
