SPRU513Y August 2001 – June 2022 SM320F28335-EP
As shown in Section 9.6.5.2.4.1 , the .ebss and .esysmem sections are allocated at the lower addresses of RAM (0x0200 - 0x0590) and the .stack section is allocated at address 0x08c0, even though lower addresses are available.
Without using the HIGH specifier, the linker allocation would result in the code shown in Section 9.6.5.2.4.2
The HIGH specifier is ignored if it is used with specific address binding or automatic section splitting (>> operator).
