Dear ARM's guru,

I'm asking myself about the ARM real mode and especially about the memory management on this mode.

Is there a limitation on memory allocution in real-mode under ARM?
Is ARM's Cortex CPU behave like Intel's x86 CPU in real-mode in term of memory allocution?

In fact I want to know if I could use more than the usual 1Mb (Using Gate A20 trick) available in real-mode with an Intel CPU.

Many thanks in advance.

    Many thanks to your answer sim!

    This is exactly the answer I was looking for ;)

    I'm currently trying to develop a fast bootloader for my NVidia TEGRA 250 DevKit and as NVidia doesn't provided us the TRM I was not sure about this point.

    More I use ARM Processors, more I like it, there are no limitation due to backward compatibility for now, and that a good point on it :D
