Compiler/TM4C1294NCPDT: save the const in Flash in CCS IDE

The simple way is to declare the variable with the const qualifier outside of function scope:

#include <stdint.h>
#include <stdbool.h>
#include "driverlib/sysctl.h"

const uint8_t name[] = {"my name\0"};

int
main(void)
{

    volatile uint8_t ram_name[10];
    //
    // Run from the PLL at 120 MHz.
    //
    SysCtlClockFreqSet((SYSCTL_XTAL_25MHZ |
                                       SYSCTL_OSC_MAIN |
                                       SYSCTL_USE_PLL |
                                       SYSCTL_CFG_VCO_480), 120000000);
    memcpy(ram_name, name, sizeof(name));

}

The array name will be in the ".const" section. The standard link command file that is in project0 will put that section into flash memory. In my simple example it ends up at address 0x720.
