I have the following problem.
I am developing a prototype with an LPC2362.
As Code Red writes they support this device I used it.
Now I am trying to implement a software. It uses a lot of RAM and some flash.
Now when you create a new project with the project wizard you come to the window you can see in the attached figure.

This window shows especially the address where the RAM begins. This Ram is calles Ram32. But the size of it is about 0x2000 which is about 8kB.
If you look in the Datasheet which you can download on: http://www.nxp.com/#/pip/pip=[pip=LPC2361_62_4]|pp=[t=pip,i=LPC2361_62_4]
you can see the LPC2362 definitely has 32 kBytes of Ram.

Now is my question is this a failure or do you have to buy the upgrade for this. And if it is a failure how can I manually change the RAM size.
As the nowhere written down a limited Ram usage I think it must be a mistake.
If you look in the memoy mapping in the Datasheet the adressrange for this device is 0x4000 0000 to 0x4000 7FFF which is 32 kBytes.

Maybe someone knows advice.

Thanks
Florian

Hi,

This is a mistake and will be fixed in the net release of LPCXpresso.

You can manually define your linker scripts (based on the generated one) by following the knowledgebase entry:
