Description

Hi, I tried to run the example and it showed the error as follow:
spike --isa=rv32imc -m0x00002000:0xFFFE000,0x10000000:0x70000000,0x80000000:0x80000000 kernel
devices at [2000, 10000000) and [2000000, 20c0000) overlap

The issue may due to the newer version of spike.
Anyway, I think the memory region suggested by -m option in Makefile should be adjusted to make the example work.

Research direction

Start in the Makefile at the -m memory-region setting and compare it with the overlap reported by the shown spike command. Run the example with the adjusted region and confirm that Spike no longer reports overlapping devices and the kernel starts successfully.
