#83866 This is the memory map I composed from various source the last few years. It contains RAM, ROM and FLASH, no I/O or DPORT registers (at least not one by one).

It is based on:
- initial published memory map posted on this site (which was very incomplete and had many things guessed)
- own findings added

I have tried to make a contigeuous list, i.e. without gaps, that explains why there is '-' here and there, it simply means that I don't know what's there. Most of the time it's "nothing" or another area duplicated, but hey, you never know.

Please check and if possible, add to this!

Please note: at 0x3fffe000 there is an area of 2860 bytes that is never used. It may be used in some SDK function I am not using, who knows. I am using it for a log buffer and it never fails. After this area, this an area of a few bytes that do get overwritten once, somewhere at the beginning of the user application. But it's after user_init2() so I am not sure where exactly this does happen. After that area, seem to be more, smaller, areas that are never used, but I didn't have the guts (nor need...) to use them ;)
