I am working with an LM4F using CCS 5.1.
Using the IAR compiler on an AVR, I have used:
#define MONITOR_STATUS_PAGE 0x1FF00
// Monitor Status Page Contents
// __root is needed here to keep this from being optimized out
#pragma location=MONITOR_STATUS_PAGE
__root __hugeflash const unsigned char monrev[] = "115-1905 Rev B4"; // 20 characters max
So a support tool can the application for the 20 bytes starting at 0x1FF00 and get the part number and revision.
I have also used syntax such as:
const unsigned char monrev[] = "115-1905 Rev B4" @ 0x1FF00;
Can you do something similar with the TI compiler?
I do not see a similar pragma or language construct in the compiler user manual - although it seems possible that a #pragma CODE_SECTION and defining a new section may work.
