I don´t see any problem paging memory, but you need to have some reason to do it. For example if the micro has small internal ram but large external, then paging makes sense for loading some chunks of the extrnal memory ínto the internal. You don´t need any hardware for this, but you need to cope with the overhead that paging creates, like translating the addresses and transferring the pages.

hi thank you for u r reply
actualy i was doing can calibration protocol implementation on a renesas R32C153 microcontroller
the protocol specification specifies some page switching command
my controller has following specification
1.4GB ADDRESS SPACE
2.48-Kbyte internal RAM
3.1-Mbyte internal FLASH ROM
4.8KB E2dataFlash
AND THE CONTROLLER WHICH EVER I WORKED B4 HAS SEPARATE MMU or data page pointer ....in this controller I DINT FIND ANYTHING LIKE DAT
