Hello Jython,

you can distribute the regions to the two RAMs. For example this BSP
does that:

https://git.rtems.org/rtems/tree/bsps/arm/lpc32xx/start/linkcmds.lpc32xx_phycore

Please note that you have to take a detailed look at what is used till
your external RAM initialization run and what not. But if you put your
external RAM initialization in an early enough step, you shouldn't get
problems with that.

Best regards

Christian
