Piotr Zięcik a7e2c58af5 samples: sysview: Update memory requirements
When we enabled SEGGER support on the nRF51 series SoCs, this sample
started to fail due to small amount of memory avaiable on some nRF51
SoCs. This commit updates the min_ram property in order to exclude
failing boards from the build.

SEGGER SystemView Sample
########################

Overview
********
This sample application uses the kernel system logger and publishes events
through the SEGGER RTT protocol, making it available to the SEGGER
SystemView application.

Requirements
************

* Board supported by J-Link (`list of supported boards <https://www.segger.com/jlink_supported_devices.html#DeviceList>`_)
* `SEGGER J-Link Software and Documentation pack <https://www.segger.com/downloads/jlink>`_
* The board might require a `special bootloader <https://www.segger.com/opensda.html>`_, also available from SEGGER
* `SEGGER SystemView <https://www.segger.com/systemview.html?p=1731>`_


Building and Running
********************

* Follow the instructions to install J-Link and SystemView software on your
  computer
* Open J-Link Commander.  On Linux, its executable is named ``JLinkExe``:

.. code-block:: console

  SEGGER J-Link Commander V6.10m (Compiled Nov 10 2016 18:38:45)
  DLL version V6.10m, compiled Nov 10 2016 18:38:36

  Connecting to J-Link via USB...O.K.
  Firmware: J-Link OpenSDA 2 compiled Feb 28 2017 19:27:22
  Hardware version: V1.00
  S/N: 621000000
  VTref = 3.300V


  Type "connect" to establish a target connection, '?' for help
  J-Link>

* Issue the "connect" command.  If it's the only connected board, ``Enter``
  can be pressed at the ``Device>`` prompt.
* Select the target interface.  Some devices only support the ``SWD`` type,
  so select it by typing ``S`` followed by ``Enter``.
* At the ``Speed>`` prompt, select the interface polling frequency.  The
  default of 4000kHz is sufficient, but a higher frequency can be specified.
* Once the connection has been successful, an output similar to this one
  should be produced:

.. code-block:: console

  Device "MK64FN1M0XXX12" selected.

* Now open SystemView.  Select the option *Start Recording* from the
  *Target* menu (or press ``F5``), choose USB, the target device (in this
  case, ``MK64FN1M0XXX12``), and confirm that the target interface and speed
  matches the ones selected in J-Link Commander.  The *RTT Control Block
  Detection* can be left on *Auto Detection*.
* Once OK is clicked, information will be pulled from the device as usual:
  threads, interrupts, and other information will be populated
  automatically.
