Memory Protection Unit (MPU) TEST
#################################
Overview
********
This test provides a set options to check the correct MPU configuration
against the following security issues:
* Read at an address that is reserved in the memory map.
* Write into the boot Flash/ROM.
* Run code located in SRAM.
If the MPU configuration is correct each option selected ends up in an MPU
fault.
