Hi all,
 
Does anyone know how to create a string that will reside in flash.
 
What I'd like to do is have a string  RevCode[10] but this needs to stay in
flash. So after I get a value I will store it in flash, I know how to do
that, but don't know how to create this array. I'd like it to be for
instance at $01200
 
 Can anyone help me her
Best regards,
Martijn
 
 

We describe how to do this in our AQ430 tools, at 
www.quadravox.com/aq430.htm (click on "FAQ", and scroll down to:
"How can I locate const variables at specific address").

Using the IAR toolset:-

In your source file

----------------
#pragma memory = constseg( STRING_DATA )

const unsigned char String_Data[] = {"Hello Martijn"}  ;

#pragma memory = default
----------------

and in the .XCL Xlink control file

----------------
// Storage for the string data

-Z(CODE)STRING_DATA00-12FF
----------------
