.. zephyr:code-sample:: code_relocation_nocopy
:name: Code relocation nocopy
Relocate code, data, or bss sections using a custom linker script.
Overview
********
A simple example that demonstrates how relocation of code, data or bss sections
using a custom linker script.
Differently from the code relocation sample, this sample is relocating the
content of the ext_code.c file to a different FLASH section and the code is XIP
directly from there without the need to copy / relocate the code. All other code
(e.g. main(), Zephyr kernel) stays in the internal flash.
nRF5340 DK platform instructions
********************************
The nRF5340 DK has a 64 Mb external flash memory supporting Quad SPI. It is
mapped to 0x10000000.
To build and flash the application (including the external memory part):
.. zephyr-app-commands::
:zephyr-app: samples/application_development/code_relocation_nocopy
:board: nrf5340dk/nrf5340/cpuapp
:goals: build flash
:compact:
STM32F769I-Discovery platform instructions
******************************************
The stm32f769i_disco has 64MB of external flash attached via QSPI. It is mapped
to 0x90000000.
.. zephyr-app-commands::
:zephyr-app: samples/application_development/code_relocation_nocopy

STM32 b_u585i_iot02a Discovery kit instructions
***********************************************
The b_u585i_iot02a has 64MB of external flash attached via OSPI. It is mapped
to 0x70000000.
.. zephyr-app-commands::
