Torsten Rasmussen 35625c146a boards: samples: remove CONFIG_BUILD_NO_GAP_FILL=y and similar
Gap filling in hex files are now disabled per default, and therefore
there is no reason to explicitly disable gap filling.

It has never been possible to disable gap filling in binary files.
Disabling gap filling would just result in the binary file to be gap
filled with the tool's default value, objcopy=0x00.

.. zephyr:code-sample:: code_relocation_nocopy
   :name: Code relocation nocopy

   Relocate code, data, or bss sections using a custom linker script.

Overview
********
A simple example that demonstrates how relocation of code, data or bss sections
using a custom linker script.

Differently from the code relocation sample, this sample is relocating the
content of the ext_code.c file to a different FLASH section and the code is XIP
directly from there without the need to copy / relocate the code. All other code
(e.g. main(), Zephyr kernel) stays in the internal flash.

nRF5340 DK platform instructions
********************************

The nRF5340 DK has a 64 Mb external flash memory supporting Quad SPI. It is
mapped to 0x10000000.

To build and flash the application (including the external memory part):

.. zephyr-app-commands::
   :zephyr-app: samples/application_development/code_relocation_nocopy
   :board: nrf5340dk/nrf5340/cpuapp
   :goals: build flash
   :compact:

STM32F769I-Discovery platform instructions
******************************************

The stm32f769i_disco has 64MB of external flash attached via QSPI. It is mapped
to 0x90000000.

.. zephyr-app-commands::
   :zephyr-app: samples/application_development/code_relocation_nocopy
   :board: stm32f769i_disco
   :goals: build flash
   :compact:

STM32 b_u585i_iot02a Discovery kit instructions
***********************************************

The b_u585i_iot02a has 64MB of external flash attached via OSPI. It is mapped
to 0x70000000.

.. zephyr-app-commands::
   :zephyr-app: samples/application_development/code_relocation_nocopy
   :board: b_u585i_iot02a
   :goals: build flash
