L166: Locating Multiple Sections Without Specifying Names

Information in this article applies to:

• C166

QUESTION

I wish to locate one NCONST section at 8000H and the rest starting at 9000H. How can I achieve this without specifying every single NCONST section name in the SECTIONS directive?

ANSWER

You can use the GROUPS directive to specify the starting address for a particular group. Any sections specified with the SECTIONS directive are exceptions to this. For example:

SECTIONS(?NC?BOOTLOAD%NCONST (0x8000))
GROUPS(NCONST (0x9000))

will locate the section ?NC?BOOTLOAD at 8000H and the rest of the NCONST sections starting at 9000H.

MORE INFORMATION

• Refer to GROUPS in the L166 User's Guide.
• Refer to SECTIONS in the L166 User's Guide.
