#################################

Overview
********
This test case verifies that protection is provided
against the following security issues:

* Write to read-only data.
* Write to text.
* Execute from data.
* Execute from stack.
* Execute from heap.

Building and Running
********************

This project can be built and executed as follows:

.. code-block:: console

   $ cd tests/protection
   $ make BOARD=<insert your board here>

Connect the board to your host computer using the USB port.
Flash the generated zephyr.bin on the board.
Reset the board.

Sample Output
=============
