Stack

Every program needs a stack. Locate parameter Name is ignored. Access must be ReadWrite if specified. If parameter Size is not specified or zero, RTLoc will assign all unused memory of the region to the stack after all other entities have been located. Please note that if the stack and heap are located in the same region, at least one of the two must specify a size.

If the stack is mapped to a virtual region and command FillRAM is specified for the same region, the specification of a physical region can be omitted. In this way, the stack can span several disjoint areas of physical memory.

Examples:

Region  LowMem  4k  636k RAM 
Region  HighMem 1M    1M RAM 

Virtual VMem    2M 
FillRAM VMem 

Locate  Stack  S  VMem                // all unused RAM 
Locate  Stack  S  VMem->LowMem        // all unused LowMem 
Locate  Stack  S  LowMem              // ditto 
Locate  Stack  S  VMem  16k           // 16k of any RAM 
Locate  Stack  S  VMem->HighMem  16k  // 16k of HighMem
