Part Number: MSP430FR5994

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

#pragma DATA_SECTION ( symbol , " section name ")

How do you give a section name to an address range?

I am new to programming so sorry if it the answer is very obvious.

Thank you in advance.

    Before I can answer, you need a bit of background.  Please read the first part of the article Linker Command File Primer.  Get a clear understanding of how input sections come from object files, are combined into output sections, and those output sections are allocated to memory ranges.

    The DATA_SECTION pragma is how you tell the compiler which input section to use for a particular global or static variable.

    Thanks and regards,
