Starting With Blank 2K8RAM

[Crazyb]

Hey

I'm working on a small project were I'm using the 2K8RAM component as storage for a program.


The project is a small MCU/CPU, I'm using the 2k8Ram as a program storage.
My problem is that when I start the simulation the 2k8Ram starts with all addresses is in an unknown state, and this is causing some problem when I try to load my program.


I've solve this problem by programming a 8051 to set all addresses to 0 and then load  my program,
but this takes 1.5 minutest to clear and load a 24 instruction (4 commands) program...
I could use the  8051 to give out the commands, but I rather have it just load the program in ram and then "virtually" remove itself.
I'm wondering is there is an other component or an other way to load a program in to a blank memory?

The point of this project is just to learn how a simple 8bit CPU might be constructed.
If I give the instructions to the circuits it runs fine, but I takes a lot of time to give 6 instructions (with is actually just on command) manualy and that is preventing me from getting further in the design, because
1. if I do it manulay and there is a small error I have to stop the simulation, fix it and then "reprogram it"
2. I had to re-do a lot of things to try and "debug" the circuit while the error was actually the ram being in an "unknown state" (rooky mistake) .


Side note:
I'm doing this at home so there might be something that I'm missing/doing wrong and I don't know people that can help me.
I'll upload the circuit if it's needed, but I prefer not to because it's in a lot of small pieces right now.

Seriously nobody know of anyother method of doing it?
 
the time went up to 5-6 minutes per runn just to clear and load the memory.
I've been forced to just clear 64 adresses just to get it down to 2 minutes.

I'm wondering if I'm not just use the 8051 as a storing medium since nobody in the forums I've asked can answer me ;__;
