Is that really bif, I'm confused by this number. if it is ROMRAM startup type, I guess the program will never run as my RAM is only 256K. does this make any sense or am I wrong. I did try loading this application in the flash on the exact same location where I used to load redboot, it didn't run. Thank you.

What is telling you it is 600K? arm-elf-size? Or is that the size of the binary produced by objcopy? Sometimes the binary has big holes in it because objcopy or the linker script is confused.

It's been my experience that once I build for one startup type, if I change the configuration to another, things don't go right.
