From bd8b74551b64e740ca27510406d26bd82ae74c38 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Simon Glass Date: Sun, 17 Jun 2018 08:57:43 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] sandbox: Try to start the RAM buffer at a particular address Use a starting address of 256MB which should be available. This helps to make sandbox RAM buffers pointers more recognisable.
