H, How would I declare a struct containing an array, or just an array or a struct for that matter, in Flash memory. I have read the variable placing example. But that only seems to work for simple variables. The following code just declares it in RAM.
typedef struct { int SampleList[200]; unsigned long SLi_Next; unsigned long SLi_Max; } STC_DataStorage; //As a global const STC_DataStorage Data;
You may have not defined the start of the BSS section. Take a look to \Keil\ARM\GNU\Examples\Memory. This example provides a complete setup.
I have gone through the memory example. I am a little confused. According to the docs when a variable has the const keyword it will be placed in Flash. From the example snippet below, how do I define the start of the BSS section?
/* Mapped to Intialized Data Section (.data) in Internal RAM */ unsigned char FillVal = 0xff; /* Mapped to Uninitialized Data Section (.bss) in External RAM */ unsigned char Buffer[32768]; struct { unsigned short us[16]; unsigned long ul[8]; } Table;
I have tried using code from the memory example.
/* Mapped to Uninitialized Data Section (.bss) in External RAM */ unsigned char Buffer[32768]; struct { unsigned short us[16]; unsigned long ul[8]; } Table;
