Hi all,
My Target is short with RAM and I want to use the RedBoot RAM in the
application as well.
Is it possible? it is a waste of RAM if not.
It's only a waste if your application does not use RedBoot for
runtime services. By default, your code will call functions in
RedBoot for such things as console I/O, network debug support,
GDB support, etc. You can only reuse RedBoot's RAM section if
you are not using any of those (CYGSEM_HAL_USE_ROM_MONITOR == 0)
