[En-Nut-Discussion] Move some code parts from an application running in ROM to RAM

[Matthias Wilde]

Dear Harald,

thank you for the quick reply and support.

Unfortunately  I still have some problems. In the linker script you refer
to "__ramfunc_image" which is an undefined symbol for the linker. So I
guess this area has to be defined somewhere. I tried to introduce this in
different ways in the .S file also in the .ld, but without success. The
linker scripts and me we are not in love ;-) May be you remember my last
C++ modification took also a long time.

Do you have one more hint for me where I have to define __ramfunc_image.
Or should I just go for the newest NutOS (I am stil using 4.2.1).

Thank you again


Matthias
