Hi,
I wanted your help to know how to fill unused flash memory with a particula=
r data.
I need to fill the unused memory with 0x4800000 (branch to self instruction=
).
I have attached the modified the linker file.
I added the following in the linker file
.lastSection=A0=A0=A0 align(32)=A0=A0 CLEAR=A0=A0 FILL4(0x48000000)=A0=A0=
=A0=A0 pad(0x1024)=A0=A0=A0 : >.
However when I build my project and generated the motorola s-record file I =
noticed that the data was not placed in the section.
Also I need to map the ".lastsection" to remaining memory. Can you please h=
elp me with the syntax.
Thanks and regards,
Veeresh P K
