Using ccs4 and Bios 6 tools to create a group and a linker defined symbol within the generated linked command file.

We are using Bios 6 and CCSv4 on a 6747.

Back in the days before DSP BIOS and the CCS tools which autogenerate linker command files (and thus require every project to have two linker command files, the autogenerated one and one that I control within the project), we used the GROUP directive to put all initialized sections in one area and then we created a linker symbol defined the end of these initialized sections:

allInit:
{
   *(.vecs)
   *(.text)
   *(.const)
   *(.cinit)
   *(.switch)
   __init_end=.;
}> SDRAM

Is there anyway to do a similar thing within the BIOS6/CCS4 environment?.

Alternately, is there a way to perhaps tell the tool to NOT allocate the .text, .const sections within its autogenerated file and give complete control of that to me within the linker command file I create for the project?

thanks,
