I'm familiar with the DATA_SECTION #pragma directive and have used it. What I want to do is just put part of a structure into a specific data section, specifically into non-volatile memory. For example this structure.
typedef struct { uint16_t RegA_NonVolatile; uint16_t RegB_Volatile; } RegStruct_t; static RegStruct_t RegData; // THIS WORKS, BUT PUTS THE WHOLE STRUCTURE IN customNV, not what I want. #pragma DATA_SECTION (RegData, ".customNV") // THIS FAILS AT THE PERIOD #pragma DATA_SECTION (RegData.RegA_NonVolatile, ".customNV")
The error that I get is "expected a ," right where I have the dot drilling down into the structure.
Is there any way to put just one part of a structure into memory using DATA_SECTION?

Unfortunately, no. The C standard requires all members of a structure to be contiguous in memory, in the same order as the source. Note that, due to alignment requirements, there may be gaps between members.
