This may be normal, depending on your configuration...

Fix your code?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Your code starts at 0xFFF00000, and the  4xx  have  the  reset  entry
point  at  0xFFFFFFFC,  i.  e. at the end of the 32 bit ddress space.
Guess how much 0xFFFFFFFC - 0xFFF00000 + 4 gives? 1.0 MiB? Right.

You asked for it, so you got it.

No error. All exactly as you requested.

Best regards,
