Here's a more direct link for the H8 docs: (URL) down to the literature section and download the two PDFs. For assembly, I would recommend starting off with an installation of BrickOS and perusing the various source code files for the kernel. You'll (...)

Mike, IIRC, mm_start is the beginning of the heap. When the system or a user program requests memory (new in C++ or malloc/calloc in C) the memory is taken from this block (from mm_start to the end of memory) What might be confusing is how the (...)

Do you use another firmware downloader besides firmdl3? Recent changes to BrickOS changed the memory layout a bit and this could be an issue.
