Can you simply do that? Does the compiler insert code to write the flash? I thought you had to explicitly erase the whole flash section and then do a single write to each location. Then erase it again before you write it again. Also, I did not think you could just write flash like normal memory.

The section is created. I can create constants with __logdata__ __attribute__((section(".logdata"))). I got rid of the const specifier and initialized the data. The data is indeed written in the right address range of memory when initialized, but when I try to change the array in the code, it doesn't change the initialization data. Is it only possible to create constants with this method? If not, how can you create variables that are modified by the program? I tried the pragma call such as: #pragma memory=constseg("logdata"); //or #pragma memory=constseg("logdata") Word2_t RssiData[10] ={0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0}; #pragma memory = default but the compiler gives a message that it ignored the pragma ("ignoring #pragma memory"). What is wrong? Can I create a variable with such a call in mspgcc? I'm thinking of creating my own function that uses low-level assembly that would write into flash. However, I would like to avoid doing that.
