Large array memory allocation: merge sections

Using an F28235 on a custom board. Code Composer Ver 3.3.38

What is the best way to merge two sections in RAM?

The EBSS section in the linker file has been allocated to RAML4 section (4K words). When I declared an Uint32 array of size around 6.3K words, the linker did obviously complain about size being over the section limit.

I removed the allocation of RAML5 (the section contiguous with RAML4), and other references to RAML5 and added that 4K to RAML4, thus making RAML4 = 8K. Everything compiles and links well now. Is this the best way to do it?

Here are the code fragments from the linker file:

RAML4 : origin = 0x00C000, length = 0x002000 /* on-chip RAM block L1 */
/* RAML5 : origin = 0x00D000, length = 0x001000 /* on-chip RAM block L1 */
 

.ebss : > RAML4 PAGE = 1

/* DMARAML5 : > RAML5, PAGE = 1*/
