Use SDRAM for heap memory

Hi there.

I always have been thinking whether can not use large SDRAM as heap. And I finally was able to get it to work, although it is a simple sample.

Is there anyone who is thinking the same and tried it? I'm not sure if this way is correct and works fine in several use cases.And it works only in the GCC_ARM toolchain.

So, if someone uses SDRAM as heap, I would like you to tell me your method. I also hope this information helps you.

Thanks.
