It might be worth looking at the elf program that is generated to check that the code and data sections have the correct addresses for the internal memory blocks. The link script used by the IDE build rather assumes that your code+data is being loaded into a large memory area (eg the SDRAM) and code is added to copy the data into internal memory.

Look at the output of 'objdump -p' (and maybe 'objdump -h') to ensure that the physical and logical addresses are the one you need.
