[En-Nut-Discussion] Ethernut 2 Xmem & Banked Memory

No, sorry. The AVR does not have a mmu and therefor can't handle page
faults. This feature would be needed to automaticaly detect if you
access memory beyond the 16K boundary of a page.

The banked memory is only intended to be used as some kind of buffer
space with fixed allocation.

Best regards,

Ole Reinhardt
