I am trying to update the STM32L486 files so that I can utilize the RAM2 section of RAM, and I’m real close, but I can’t quite figure out what I’m missing for the memory map. It’s showing the same data in two separate sections and I can’t figure out why.
- I have updated the linker file and added a section that writes to RAM2 instead of RAM.
- I have updated the code to apply the necessary attribute to the appropriate variables
- I modified the startup assembly code to wipe RAM2 section like it does for the .bss section
- I updated the stm32.xml file to display RAM2 properties.
- The .map file confirms things are located at the correct addresses
- The code runs and works correctly.
- Using the debugger I have confirmed that the variables are located in the correction memory location
- The VisualGDB Embedded Memory Explorer shows the new RAM sector and allocates the appropriate items to it
The only thing not working:
The RAM2 section information ALSO shows up in the RAM1 information when using VisualGDBs Memory Explorer.
I have attached an image showing the memory explorer.
I have attached my modified stm32.xml file to manually add a RAM2 section.——————————————————————————————–
Here is the relevant section of my .map file that shows the address of .rm2data is where I think it is

Thanks!
Well, I apparently can’t upload .xml files, so here it is
