By default, the linker script (`olimex_stm32-e407_devboard.ld`) is configured to run from bootloader and flash. However, if you first ran the image from SRAM you had changed `olimex_stm32-e407_devboard.ld` to match `run_from_sram.ld`. You will therefore return to defaults with `olimex_stm32-e407_devboard.ld` linker script matching the contents of 'run_from_loader.ld'. Return to the project directory.
