[SOLVED] Create a variable at an absolute address in flash

[hattmt]

Hi,

I would like to know how we can create a variable at an absolute address in the binary file, like the definition for ARM compiler:

const uint32_t variable __attribute__((at(0x08010000))) = 0X15056687;

I tried with the linker(.ld) but the addresses are mapped in flash and I don't know which address to use.

At the end, I would like to have my variable at a specified offset in my binary file , to flash it with my firmware .
And would like to access and modify the value from my bootloader and my firmware.

That should be possible using LD files, but it's quite the dirty hack, and you'll need to do some work in parsing the on-flash format and doing the required transformations that the MMU does in order to figure out where your variable will end up in the bin file... can I suggest instead creating a small partition for this and memory mapping it into RAM?

Thank you for you reply ,
I did it , in editing the .ld , it worked
