I'm using 8MiB external ram with the LPC1788. I use a scatter file to use it as heap. I found out the startup file uses a lot of ZI-data. I think it tries to initialize the external ram. But the ram is setup by a function called by the main. How do I prevent the startup file from initializing the external ram?
