Hi Hippo!

Thanks for responding! In looking at the file "vmlinux.lds" I found the following...

MEMORY {

ram : ORIGIN = 0000000000, LENGTH = 0x08000000

eram : ORIGIN = 0x08000000, LENGTH = 0

romfs : ORIGIN = 0x08000000 + 0x200000, LENGTH = 0x00800000 - 0x200000

}

This file appears to be automatically generated though and I don't know what generates it. Should I modify it here and, if I do, will I need to recompile the kernel?
