 		 #173835 - this is not the case..
Responding to: ???'s previous message
... with every C compiler, I mean to clear the *whole* memory upon startup. I'd even consider that harmful.

The traditional way is to clear (write zero) all static (i.e. global and local "tagged" as static) variables which are not explicitly initialised, initialise what's explicitly initialised, and leave alone the rest.

Btw., how does Keil know how much XRAM is connected?
