The error I am getting is:
"../2837x_FLASH_lnk_cpu1.cmd", line 101: warning #10237-D: split placement (>>) ignored for ".esysmem": split run placement for this section is not permitted
I am using the default command file for the c28377D evaluation board, however I desire to specify a larger heap that 0x800.
It appeared that much of the onboard memory was unused so I changed only the below line to make use of this memory which should then allow a larger heap specification.
.esysmem : >> RAMGS2 | RAMGS3 | RAMGS4 | RAMGS5 | RAMGS6 | RAMGS7 | RAMGS8 | RAMGS9 | RAMGS10 | RAMGS11 | RAMGS12 | RAMGS13 PAGE = 1
However I get this warning.
Can anyone comment on what I am not understanding that is generating this warning? If their is a limitation of this section where is that limitation documented?

There are two reasons why you cannot split the .esysmem section.
One ... Output sections can only be split on input section boundaries. And .esysmem has only one input section, from the RTS module memory.obj. If you find this paragraph confusing, it would probably help to get a better understanding of the terms input section and output section from this wiki article.
Two ... The .esysmem section is the heap managed by the malloc functions. These functions presume it is one continuous block in memory.
Thanks and regards,

So the largest 'heap' I can get on the 28377D is a 4K heap, limited by the memory block size, would be a conclusion drawn from a proper understanding of the esysmem section.
Thanks.
