Hi guys,
I'm wishing to move the location of the stack but how is this possible? In the startup.s I have
EXPORT __initial_sp Stack_Size EQU 0x00000200 AREA STACK, NOINIT, READWRITE, ALIGN=3 Stack_Mem SPACE Stack_Size __initial_sp
However there's no option for the location and nothing specific for the stack appears to show up in the generate scatter file.
I'm a little lost and would appreciate any help.
Many thanks
Have you considered a scatter file for specifying where you want to locate different AREAs?
Yes, I will ultimately do this if I have no choice but I was hoping to keep within the default uVision layout - this is so that those who come after me will have less of a learning curve and the software is easier to maintain.
It feels as though I should be able to reserve a block of space within an area without having to resort to scatter files.
One thing I can say form all of this is that the scatter-file/memory allocation system in uVision could do with a rethink and overhaul. Ideally you want scatter file editing to be natively possible, as it seems, for me at least, I almost always end up having to implement my own.
