[Mspgcc-users] Data in flash

[James Henry Dodd]

Hi Guys,

I have a message table which I want in flash. When I declare it this way...

const char *Msgs[] = {
        "Message 1",
        "Message 2", ...

... the messages go in flash but the table goes in RAM.

When I declare it this way...

const char __attribute__ ((section(".text"))) *Msgs[] = {

both go in flash, which is what I want, but I get a warning:

msp430-gcc.exe -D__DEBUG__ -D__MSP430_149__ -DNO_CRYSTAL -D_MSPFET_ -I.\incl
ude -IE:\mspgcc\msp430\include -mmcu=msp430x149 -g -O2 -wall -c
src\AmCmd.c -o obj\AmCmd.o
/cygdrive/d/TEMP/ccsxnPw5.s: Assembler messages:
/cygdrive/d/TEMP/ccsxnPw5.s:209: Warning: ignoring changed section
attributes for .text

Is there a syntax that would avoid the warning?

Cheers,

James
