Hi,
I recently found myself running out of space on my FX2 firmware so I did a bit
of remapping things to squeeze out some more room.
One thing I did was to put the descriptors at 0xe000 and this worked, however I
found that string descriptors didn't work.
After bashing my head against the desk for a bit I realised it was because they
are declared as __code rather than __xdata. The device descriptor still works
because (I think) it uses SUDPTRH/L.
I have the following diff..

To go with this I have a local only diff to modify SDCCFLAGS in lib/Makefile to
set it.
My earlier changes where to build code with..
CFLAGS= -mmcs51 --code-size 0x3e00 --xram-size 0x0100 --xram-loc 0x3e00
--stack-auto
LDFLAGS= -Wl"-b DSCR_AREA=0xe000" -Wl"-b INT2JT=0x3f00"
ie I cut RAM in half after checking the SDCC report.
Also it seems that the 'default' (i.e. what's in the examples) --xram-loc is
conservative.
