68300

To access external RAM, you need to set up the chip selects properly.

To do this, you need to know how the hardware of your target is connected 
to the external RAM

You will need to set CSPAR0 and CSPAR1 and the CSBARxx and CSORxx that the 
external RAM is connected to.  It usually takes me the better part of an 
afternoon to get it right.  There are at least 34 bits to set right, and 
the symptom of failure is usually "it doesn't work" with little clue as to why.

The information is in the "MC68332 User's Manual" available at:
http://www.freescale.com/files/microcontrollers/doc/user_guide/MC68332UM.pdf
section 4.8.  There are 34 bits to set properly.  CSBARxx, CSORxx and two 
bits of CSPARx.

The external Flash is also accessed in about the same way.  It is probably 
possible to reprogram the flash if you have the right program in RAM.

Hope this helps.
