Linking to a specified area with TMS470 Code Generation Tools 4.9.0

Balazs Fuli

Hello,

is there any possibility to define directly a section for a code segment for the linker? For example with a pragma. I didn't find anything about this in the users manual. I have a constant byte field, and I want to take it into a specified space instead of code segment.

Or should I do that with the linker script?

Thanks in advance,

Hi Balazs,

You can use the DATA_SECTION pragma to specify the section a variable/constant should be linked to. This section has to be declared in the linker command file to. You can’t specify an address directly in a C or assembly file.

#pragma DATA_SECTION ( symbol , " section name " );

Thank you! I think I wrote "." before the section name when I tried this pragma, but now it works.
