I have minimal experience with PIC's, but I was wondering how an EEPROM can be attached to a PIC to store a larger program for the processor to run. Is this doable, or can external ROM's only store data rather than instructions?
If this is possible then I'd rather have the program code transfer to the pic serially so I use minimal IO lines on the PIC.
If this is doable would I have to store the entire program on the eeprom and just have another program on the PIC itself that accesses the EEPROM.
I would be really greatful if you could give me an idea of what instructions allow me to do this, in assembly and BASIC if possible.
