SPRUI03D July 2015 – January 2022
As shown in Section 9.6.5.2.3.1 , the .bss and .sysmem 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 9.6.5.2.3.2
The HIGH specifier is ignored if it is used with specific address binding or automatic section splitting (>> operator).
