+    If enabled, the region of the data virtual address space where the PSRAM is mapped to will be used to store zero-initialized data (BSS segment) from the lwIP, net80211, libpp, wpa_supplicant and bluedroid ESP-IDF libraries.
 
     Additional data can be moved from the internal BSS segment to external RAM by applying the macro ``EXT_RAM_ATTR`` to any static declaration (which is not initialized to a non-zero value).
