I'm getting back to this as I have the HyperRAM working so I'm trying to set up

The initial stack needs to be in an accessible memory area. Currently it is 
placed in this linker output section:

        .rtemsstack (NOLOAD) : ALIGN_WITH_INPUT {
                bsp_section_rtemsstack_begin = .;
                *(SORT_BY_ALIGNMENT (SORT_BY_NAME (.rtemsstack*)))
                bsp_section_rtemsstack_end = .;
        } > REGION_WORK AT > REGION_WORK
        bsp_section_rtemsstack_size = bsp_section_rtemsstack_end - 
bsp_section_rtemsstack_begin;

Maybe we should place the .rtemsstack.interrupt input section into the 
REGION_VECTOR memory region.
On the "imxrt" REGION_VECTOR is in FLASH, at least ".vector' in the app I'm 
testing is at 0x6004653c which is in HyperFLASH.

Then place the .rtemsstack.interrupt input section into the REGION_STACK memory region and make sure REGIION_STACK is located in the OCRAM.

In HyperRAM I see these regions allocated:

REGION_DATA: .rwbarrier
REGION_DATA_LOAD: .data, .rtemsrwset
REGION_BSS: .bss
REGION_WORK: .rtemsstack, .work
REGION_STACK: .stack

So I put REGION_WORK in the OCRAM to get .rtemsstack out of HyperRAM to get 
started.  My application is now running out of HyperFLASH and HyperRAM though 
I'm sure I'll find issues.

- What's in "REGION_WORK"?  Does that have anything to do with the RTEMS work 
space?

Yes, the RTEMS Workspace and C Program Heap use this region.

- What's the proper solution?  I don't particularly want to redo my HyperRAM 
initialization to avoid using stack since I'm calling some NXP functions.  I'd 
like a small amount of stack available in the context of bsp_start_hook_0() to 
set up the external RAM.
- What's going on in the shared ARM _start with bsp_start_hook_0_done and the 
branch to bsp_start_hook_0()?

Some arm BSPs don't have a boot loader and relocate during startup from flash to RAM. See comment in start.S.
