/*
* C++ enabled linker script for stm32 (1M FLASH, 192K RAM)
* Developed by TFT: Terraneo Federico Technologies
* Optimized for use with the Miosix kernel
*/
/*
* This chip has an unusual quirk that the RAM is divided in two block mapped
* at two non contiguous memory addresses. I don't know why they've done that,
* probably doing the obvious thing would have made writing code too easy...
* Anyway, since hardware can't be changed, we've got to live with that and
* try to make use of both RAMs.
*
* Given the constraints above, this linker script puts:
* - read only data and code (.text, .rodata, .eh_*) in FLASH
* - the 512Byte main (IRQ) stack, .data and .bss in the "small" 64KB RAM
* - stacks and heap in the "large" 128KB RAM.
*
* Unfortunately thread stacks can't be put in the small RAM as Miosix
* allocates them inside the heap.

/*
* The main stack is used for interrupt handling by the kernel.
*
* *** Readme ***
* This linker script places the main stack (used by the kernel for interrupts)
* at the bottom of the ram, instead of the top. This is done for two reasons:
*
* - as an optimization for microcontrollers with little ram memory. In fact
* the implementation of malloc from newlib requests memory to the OS in 4KB
* block (except the first block that can be smaller). This is probably done
* for compatibility with OSes with an MMU and paged memory. To see why this
* is bad, consider a microcontroller with 8KB of ram: when malloc finishes
* up the first 4KB it will call _sbrk_r asking for a 4KB block, but this will
* fail because the top part of the ram is used by the main stack. As a
* result, the top part of the memory will not be used by malloc, even if
* available (and it is nearly *half* the ram on an 8KB mcu). By placing the
* main stack at the bottom of the ram, the upper 4KB block will be entirely
* free and available as heap space.
*
* - In case of main stack overflow the cpu will fault because access to memory
* before the beginning of the ram faults. Instead with the default stack
* placement the main stack will silently collide with the heap.
* Note: if increasing the main stack size also increase the ORIGIN value in
* the MEMORY definitions below accordingly.
