In some cases especially for on-going development & debugging of real
application it might be useful to load and run not from flash but
from RAM in that case there's one catch: we cannot reset the board
after loading memory with our app.
That's because:
a) RAM we use might be either cleared on reset or might enter
unpredictable state with portion of previously loaded data
being corrupted.
b) Reset vector most probably still point to ROM/flash and so
our current application won't be executed on reset.
So instead of "run reset" command of OpenOCD we'll use
"resume 0x12345678". Where 0x12345678 is our application's
entry-point (which BTW may very well not match beginning of
the .text section or link base).
Now to extract the entry-point we need our application's zephyr.elf
and since we already have a requirement for Elf we may use it for
loading because OpenOCD does it perfectly fine moreover automatically
detecting loaded image type (binary, hex, Elf etc).
And to use that nice feature just add "--use-elf" to west's
command-line for boards that use "openocd" runner. Like that:

west flash --use-elf

The Zephyr Project is a scalable real-time operating system (RTOS) supporting
multiple hardware architectures, optimized for resource constrained devices,
and built with security in mind.
The Zephyr OS is based on a small-footprint kernel designed for use on
resource-constrained systems: from simple embedded environmental sensors and
LED wearables to sophisticated smart watches and IoT wireless gateways.
The Zephyr kernel supports multiple architectures, including ARM Cortex-M,
Intel x86, ARC, Nios II, Tensilica Xtensa, and RISC-V, and a large number of
`supported boards`_.

* **Mailing Lists**: users@lists.zephyrproject.org and
devel@lists.zephyrproject.org are the main user and developer mailing lists,
respectively. You can join the developer's list and search its archives at
`Zephyr Development mailing list`_. The other `Zephyr mailing list
subgroups`_ have their own archives and sign-up pages.
* **Nightly CI Build Status**: https://lists.zephyrproject.org/g/builds
The builds@lists.zephyrproject.org mailing list archives the CI
(shippable) nightly build results.
* **Chat**: Zephyr's Slack workspace is https://zephyrproject.slack.com. Use
this `Slack Invite`_ to register.
* **Contributing**: see the `Contribution Guide`_
* **Wiki**: `Zephyr GitHub wiki`_
* **Issues**: https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/issues
* **Security Issues**: Email vulnerabilities@zephyrproject.org to report
security issues; also see our `Security`_ documentation. Security issues are
tracked separately at https://zephyrprojectsec.atlassian.net.
