Hi, perhaps I am overseeing a simple solution for my problem:

On the pic32 there are two flash areas, one at 0x9d000000 for the main program and another at 0xbfc00000 that is called Boot Flash. On reset the program starts in the boot flash at the first address.

I have written the startup code for the chips now but I need to distribute some procedures between the two memory areas, for obvious reasons I must have some code at address 0xbfc00000 or the chip will not boot correctly ;-).

My thought was now to tweak the linker script in the same way the original linker scripts of pic32 work:

MEMORY
{
  kseg0_program_mem    (rx)  : ORIGIN = 0x9D000000, LENGTH = 0x80000
  kseg1_boot_mem             : ORIGIN = 0xBFC00000, LENGTH = 0x490
}

SECTIONS
{
  .reset _RESET_ADDR :
  {
    KEEP(*(.reset))
    KEEP(*(.reset.startup))
  } > kseg1_boot_mem
}

In assembler I can then simply write:
 .section .reset,code and
 .section .reset.startup,code

and then the code, this will automagically end up in the kseg1_boot_mem, but this does not work with the inline assembler. Any ideas on how to do this the correct way? Is there something more intelligent than to write a plain assembler file?

TnX,

Michael

You should be able to use
.section ".reset"
