with large number of updates to the linker script (nokeep.ld)
The first 2KByte is dedicated for vector table, usb driver, usb desc
tables, hardfault, dummy handler, and firmware update routines. There
is currently ~700Bytes of free space in that first 2KB. Should be
plenty of space for firmware update routines and other advanced future
features.
The 070RB has 2KByte pages, and 070C6 has 1KB pages, which is the
smallest erase granularity size. So we can't really have anything
smaller than 2KByte on the RB. This leaves 30Kbyte for the
main/application code on the C6 which should be more than enough.
That 30KByte starts with the reset handler fixed to 0x0800_0800 because
we don't want to have to update the vector table.
After the reset handler is the usbFunctionWrite, then Setup routines
which the usb driver calls for incoming/outgoing data. These need to be
in first 64KByte of flash as a 16bit pointer is kept in usb_buff RAM.
Write was put first as it's less likely to change, with Setup following
which is quite large due to all the inlining that's happening inside it
thanks to the compiler.
Perhaps these function locations could be kept at a fixed location. Or
we could make a 'vector table' of our own just before the reset handler.
This may speed things up a bit, but for now it works. Also like the
ability to change these pointers which may be useful for the next update
as the firmware update code will effectively need it's own Setup/Write
functions. So the current pointers can just be updated to call them
instead, and restore originals/new ones through reset.?
This leaves 96KByte of unused flash on the 070RB, don't have any plans
for this yet. Perhaps future updates for all the connectors and
features will require it.
Also added definition for fast ram functions to .data section. Got that
working but not sure when it may be needed..
