-Below is a table of showing the memory breakdown for ARMv6m and ARMv7m devices, along with the protection added by the default implementation of the MPU API. Regions which were not executable to begin with have no further protection added. The second half of the `Code` region is also protected by the MPU since some MCU families have RAM in this location.
