Relocating code from FLASH to RAM, flash used size increases

[curtis_robertso]

When I follow the steps in the manual for "Relocating code from FLASH to RAM" the ram used size increases as expected but the program flash used size also increases.  This seems contradictory to the goal of moving code from flash to ram.  I can't think of an explanation for this contradiction.

Hi,

Only flash can keep code and data when power off. All data and code in RAM will lost when power off. Relocating means some code and data will be copy to RAM to execute when system power on.
