Easiest solution:
load the 4bit tim at 0x80090000
then the 8bit at 0x800A0000
then then 16 bit at 0x800B0000

then after that upload your code. By default, the linker will place it
0x80100000 (I think..)
so your data should be hanging out below your code, and no corruption
should take place.
Most of the demos & programs out there do it this way.. so give it a whirl
and see how it goes.
