6.13.1. Memory Sections
The memory devices that contain the Nios® V processor’s reset and exception addresses are a special case. The Nios® V processor tools construct the 32-byte .entry section starting at the reset address. This section is reserved exclusively for the use of the reset handler. Similarly, the tools construct a .exceptions section, starting at the exception address.
In a memory device containing the reset or exception address, the linker creates a normal (nonreserved) memory section above the .entry or .exceptions section. If there is a region of memory below the .entry or .exceptions section, it is unavailable to the Nios® V processor software.
