| Code relocation nocopy |
| ###################### |
| |
| Overview |
| ******** |
| A simple example that demonstrates how relocation of code, data or bss sections |
| using a custom linker script. |
| |
| Differently from the code relocation sample, this sample is relocating the |
| content of the ext_code.c file to a different FLASH section and the code is XIP |
| directly from there without the need to copy / relocate the code. |
| |
| nRF5340 DK platform instructions |
| ******************************** |
| |
| The nRF5340 DK has a 64 Mb external flash memory supporting Quad SPI. It is |
| possible to do XIP from the external flash memory. |
| |
| The external flash memory is mapped to 0x10000000. |
| |
| In this sample we relocate some of the code to the external flash memory with |
| the remaining Zephyr kernel in the internal flash. |
| |
| To build and flash the application (including the external memory part): |
