nRF52840 memory layout

Christoph Schramm
 

Dear All,

 

maybe I’m reading it wrong, but in all nRF52840-related DTS files, the memory layout ends at 524,288 bytes and I wonder why. That wastes the other 50% of the available storage. Is there any reason to not change

 

storage_partition: partition@7a000 {
   label = "storage";
   reg = <0x0007a000 0x00006000>;
};

 

to

 

storage_partition: partition@7a000 {
   label = "storage";
   reg = <0x0007a000 0x00086000>;
};

 

So that the memory layout ends at 0x0010 0000 (last documented block in nRF52’s SDK Memory Layout Document).

 

Please advise.

 

Thanks,

Chris

The nordic guys probably know better, but its possible that the flash that isn’t carved up is used for code.
