How to do it: https://www.st.com/resource/en/application_note/dm00083249-use-stm32f3-stm32g4-ccm-sram-with-iar-ewarm-keil-mdk-arm-and-gnu-based -toolchains-stmicroelectronics.pdf In this case, a problem is possible: inside such a function, a function located in slow (Flash) memory can be called. Which the programmer certainly doesn’t want. If programmer copies a function into RAM, he of course wants everything that this function performs to be in RAM too. I propose to add a warning output about calling a function located in slow memory from a function located in fast memory. Here's how it works in the IAR compiler: "C:foo.c",44 Warning[Ta023]: Call to a non __ramfunc function (foo()) from within a __ramfunc function foo2(); I think for this it is necessary to add a special attribute for sections in the linker script, which will indicate to the linker that all functions in this section must call functions from the same section, otherwise they will issue a warning.
