STM32F746 Discovery Board External SDRAM Address crash

Hi, I'm new here.

I've started a project using the STM32F746 Discovery board and I've been messing around with the external SDRAM.

I copied the initialisation code from the FMC example, and used STM32CubeMX for the hardware initialisation. I am able to read and write from addresses 0xC0000000 to 0xC07FFFFC; i.e. any memory accesses at 0xC0800000 or above causes the default handler to be invoked. Has anyone else come across this problem?

128-Mbit SDRAM (64 Mbits accessible)

64 Mbit = 8 MByte

0x800000 = 8 * 1024 * 1024

Like a DTACK fault on an MC68000, where you touch memory that isn't there

Thank you so much! That was stupid of me for overlooking that.
