Hi, perhaps I am overseeing a simple solution for my
problem:<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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 ;-).<br>
<br>
My thought was now to tweak the linker script in the same
way the original linker scripts of pic32 work:<br>
<br>
MEMORY<br>
{<br>
kseg0_program_mem (rx) : ORIGIN = 0x9D000000, LENGTH =
0x80000<br>
kseg1_boot_mem : ORIGIN = 0xBFC00000, LENGTH =
0x490<br>
}<br>
<br>
SECTIONS<br>
{<br>
.reset _RESET_ADDR :<br>
{<br>
KEEP(*(.reset))<br>
KEEP(*(.reset.startup))<br>
} > kseg1_boot_mem<br>
}<br>
<br>
In assembler I can then simply write: <br>
.section .reset,code and<br>
.section .reset.startup,code<br>
<br>
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?<br>
<br>
TnX,<br>

You should be able to use<br>
.section ".reset" </blockquote>

<br>
Try<br>
<br>
procedure _general_exception_handler; assembler; nostackframe;
public name '_GENERAL_EXCEPTION_HANDLER';<br>
asm<br>
.section "reset"<br>
sdbbp 0;<br>
.Lloopb:<br>
b .Lloopb<br>
.text<br>
