Hello,
is it quite normal, that a arm9 microcontroller starts in the supervisor mode? How could I changed the mode into user mode? Or is it better to work in the supervisor mode?
I've only the startup file and a short main.c file
#include <stdio.h> int main(void) { while(1); }
In the startup file I only can see that every mode will be initialized.
best regards tobi
thanks - I know why my arm processor started in supervisor mode... because of the options selected within keil.
Options for target -> Target: I've selected the internal RAM and the external RAM as default and under Options for target -> Linker: I write the R/0 base of my external flash and the R/W base of the internal RAM.
When I select "use memory layout from target dialog" the arm processor will start in user mode. But now, all kinds of variables will be installed in the external RAM. I only want to install huge arrays in the external RAM and small variables in the internal RAM - how is that possible to configure that?

The linker is responsible for placing code and variables into the available memory space. The linker documentation describes how to make the linker place certain objects/files at certain positions in memory.
