Dear Thomas Petazzoni,

Any specific reason for not using autosizing and testing via get_ram_size() ?
The initial reason is that the code for this board is taken from the Atmel boards code, which doesn't use get_ram_size(). However, my board has a fixed RAM size, so in that case, is it still useful to use get_ram_size() ?
Yes, it is still useful, as it will for example detect most memory errors and as such broken (or dying) hardware.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
