NOTE
The operating system does not perform memory bounds checking if the indirect method is used. Data corruption of system memory is likely to occur if a user application increments a pointer beyond the end of valid Reflective Memory.

NOTE
Three sample application programs (rfm2g_sender.c, rfm2g_receiver.c and rfm2g_map.c) are delivered with the RFM2g driver that show how to use the driver and API with your application. See Chapter 3 RFM2g Sample Applications, page 144 for more information.
