Support for XIP

Hello! 

Just a simple question: does the Nios2 toolchains supports the XIP (Execute in place) execution mode ?  

I've checked the flags of flat binaries and are all set to FLAT_FLAG_RAM. 

I'm trying to port php to a nios2 platform. 

I've successfully built it, but when i try to run it i get a "memory exhaust" message. 

The exec file size is about 1Mb. So it would be better to run it in flash memory instead of ram. 

 

Any idea ? 

 

Thanks in advance.

Currently the Nios II toolchain does not support PIC (position independent code), and as a result, XIP is not available for Nios II.
