SUMMARY
On MIPS platforms, two physical pages at the beginning of the RAM address space must be reserved for implicit use by the Windows CE kernel.



MORE INFORMATION
All memory regions defined in the Binary Image Builder (BIB) file MEMORY section must start at an address no lower than 0x80002000. If memory in this area is used, then it may be corrupted as the kernel installs interrupt handlers at startup. If the contents of this region are altered after the system starts, then the system may stop responding (&quot;hang&quot;).
