Hello David Kelly,
Thanks a lot for taking time to enlighten me on these issues. As you
had suggested to one of my earlier posts, I created a section and named it
EXFLASH and put my
variables there, many of them strings. I had a horrid time trying to
find out why a structure defined thus
struct EXFLASH mystruct tempstruct;
had some weird values. When I checked the map file the named structure
was allotted space in RAM!!!!!! Finally I changed the above to
struct mystruct EXFLASH tempstruct;
and the structure was allotted space in EXFLASH. Phew!!! I finally got the
struct into FLASH (this will help others in future I guess)
I created one more in RAM and copied the FLASH content to this stuct and able
to access members witout difficulty. Any pointers on fixed memory allocation
will really help. Thanks once again to you and Joerg.
Regards,
Nayani P
