dividing memory sections

Hi!

Is it possible to devide a memory section (for example a sram, 8MB) into to logical blocks (for example 4MB + 4MB)? I want to run nios-code in the one part and handle user-data in the other part.

Best Regards

Mark

    You can do that by writing your own linker script. You can use the automatically generated one as a template.

    What version of the tools are you using? The BSP editor (available in beta versions of 8.1 and 9.0) now standard in 9.1 makes it fairly easy to create your own sections out of memory.
