CONFIG_XIP

Execute in place

Type: bool

Help

This option allows the kernel to operate with its text and read-only
sections residing in ROM (or similar read-only memory). Not all boards
support this option so it must be used with care; you must also
supply a linker command file when building your image. Enabling this
option increases both the code and data footprint of the image.
