Hi Ayaz,

You wrote:

Could you make that 

static const u16 gMainSeedSet[BACKOFF_SEEDSET_ROWS][BACKOFF_SEEDSET_LFSRS] = {

> u32 gGearSeedSet[BACKOFF_SEEDSET_ROWS][BACKOFF_SEEDSET_LFSRS] = {

static const u16 gGearSeedSet[BACKOFF_SEEDSET_ROWS][BACKOFF_SEEDSET_LFSRS] = {


That should put it into the read only code segment and halve the sizes.

PS: I'm sure that one make these tables u8 by using some math tricks and 
other seeds, but that is beyond me now...


Best Regards
