# Cross-compiling directly to EEPROM
If your target media is a RAM mappable media, you can save prec-
ious RAM by cross-compiling Collapse OS directly to it. It req-
uires special handling.
You can begin the process in a regular manner, but right before
you're about to assemble the boot code, take a pause.
Up until now, you've been loading your cross compiling tools in
RAM, now, you're about to write Collapse OS. So what you need
to do is change HERE to the address of your EEPROM. Example:
0x2000 HERE !
If you need to activate special system overrides such as the
one described in doc/hw/at28.txt, now is the time.
Then, you can continue the process normally.
