#63 Peripheral RAM block mapping
Please ensure that special purpose RAM blocks (such as the USB RAM in MSP430F55xx chips) are not used as general-purpose memory by the linker. Some means for returning these special purpose RAM blocks to the general RAM pool when their associated peripherals won't be used would also be a nice feature.
The msp430mcu part of this.

SF 3113886 Peripheral RAM block mapping
Create custom memory maps that treat the USB memory as normal RAM for cases
where USB is not required.
Note: Current development msp430mcu does not have USB memory for the 55xx chips; I'm hoping this will be fixed in the next few days. The fix has been validated with a build for the 5630.

SF 3113886 Peripheral RAM block mapping
Enhance the concept of an MCU identifier to accept a single suffix _foo, the
presence of which causes an extra ldscript path to be added, and an extra
CPP define to be present. E.g., given -mmcu=msp430f5529_nousb, the C
preprocessor will define:
__MSP430F5529__
__MSP430F5529_NOUSB__
and the script paths will prefer the memory.x found in
.../ldscripts/msp430f5529/nousb/ over the one in .../ldscripts/msp430f5529/.
