Hello, I am having the following error.
section .heap overlaps absolute placed section .stack
I am wondering if there is a way I can adjust the .heap bounds or .stack bounds to accommodate my program.
When I compile our release code I use only 65% of flash memory but I am using 98.1% of RAM. When I try to compile our debug code with additional logging I get the error.
Also, are there strategies you would recommend to optimize memory within our program?
All the best,
Caleb
Thanks. In that case, you can adjust the heap and stack sections from your project settings here: 
You can also get a breakdown of what is consumed by the various RAM sections from the "Memory Usage" view:
Or check the RAM usage by the various source files from the "Project items" view:
We don't use heap in our SDK examples, so unless you are using it in your application, you can set the heap section to 0.

It's good to hear that my answer was useful to you.
Unfortunately, it is a bit hard to give general advice on how to optimize RAM usage as it is quite application dependent and usually involves optimizing the code itself.
.reserved_ram is the section allocated to the Softdevice. How much RAM the Softdevice needs depends on the configuration settings you have in sdk_config.h. You may be able to free up a few kBs to the application by changing the SD configurations in sdk_config.h here:
Then reduce the app RAM start address here:
.bss contains zero initialized global and 'static' variables so reducing this section requires code modification.
I can try to look for things to optimize if you are able to share your project here or in a private ticket.
