Re: ARM e7t memory layout


Hello Jesper,

Thanks for the answer.

Its reasonable to set ROM starting address as 0x1800000 after memory
remapping. But what I want is to build an image to be burned onto flash,
and after power on, the processor begins execution from address 0(before
remapping, which is ROM address then).

I am not sure if the mentioned memory layout is built for applications
to be loaded and run from within redboot. :-)

have a nice day.
