Details:
The method described in http://www.nongnu.org/avr-libc/user-manual/FAQ.html >
"How do I relocate code to a fixed address?" does not work in every
situation.
A function can get inlined during optimization. In this case the code is not
run from the specified address as I would expect.
I recently had a problem writing the FLASH on XMEGAs because of this (as the
SPM instruction has to reside in the boot section of FLASH). It took me a
while to debug this. My solution was to use the following attribute:
__attribute__ ((noinline, section (".boot")))
I suggest putting a note about this case. I think it would be very useful for
others like me.
