Scatter files and initialization of RAM data

Dear all,

I am using the scatter file below in my uVision project (microcontroller: STM32F105). The purpose of this scatter file is to reserve the section ER_ROM1 for the application and sections ER_ROM2...ER_ROM10 for storage of data. The application can erase/rewrite the data in these sections and thus no code or initialization data may be placed in these sections.
However, using this scatter file results in the fact that the initialization data for the RW-data in the RW_RAM1 section is placed inside the ER_ROM9 section (of which I cannot find any references to in the .map file. Does anyone know how to force the initialization data of the RAM section to be placed in ER_ROM1? I found that one way to achive this, is to place the RW_RAM1 section definition directly after ER_ROM1 and before ER_ROM2 in the scatter file. But what if the application or initialization data gets so big, that it will not completely fit inside section ER_ROM1 anymore? I fear that I will not get a error/warning, as I would like, but that the initialization data is placed in one of the ER_ROM2...ER_ROM9 sections.

Thanks for any help given!

Kind regards,

Alex
