Hi,

Since there is only 256k of internal memory(starting from 0x00800000 and 
finishing at 0x00840000 ) on the compal_e99, And that in nuttx we went over 
0x00840000(which is bad and may be cause a similar data abort than the 
follownig one), I wonder if we could use the external RAM like in the attached 
patch(we're a bit short on memory).

However the patch may still be wrong because it still produces a data abort:

The data abort prevents us from testing the lcd with the nuttx examples 
applications that makes use of the LCD....
(for now it only draws a background and then crash like mentioned above).

I've also attached the appconfig and the defconfig.

What other informations should I give?

The branch I'm using is here:
https://gitorious.org/gnutoo-s-for-upstream-osmocom-bb-and-nuttx-bb/nuttx-bb-
gta02/commits/lcd-cleanup (which will be rebased for cleanup purposes).

Denis.
