Hello @Bio_TICFSL 
Thank you for the response ,
To be clear my quetion is in current GoldVIP-S32G3-1.11.0 package ,is this space is in use or not ?, because even we will not load any application to this area while flashing  we are using only Slot A 
i am asking becasue i am planning to use this area for other memory allocation like NvM area, before doing that i wanted to confirm

Hello @Bio_TICFSL ,

Could you Brief me what kind of application ,because I don't see any linker assignment for these slot

[Bio_TICFSL]

Hello,

There is no linker because we have no any example of it, but you can modify current linker file and add a memory through QSPI or a sensor, etc.
