+Some HAL crates require that you copy over a file called `memory.x` from the HAL to the root of your project. For nrf52840-hal, the file is in the folder `nrf-hal/nrf52840-hal/`. You can get it from your local Cargo folder, the default location is:
+
+```
+~/.cargo/registry/src/github.com-<long number>/nrf-hal/nrf52840-hal/memory.x
+```
+
+You can also get the file from nrf-hal's [Github repository]. If you are using another HAL, you may need to write the file yourself. Check the documentation for the HAL you are using!
