RE: [avr-gcc-list] define const char

[Schwichtenberg, Knut]

Look to the avrlibc documentation and search for progmem. That's for only keeping the data in the flash. To find data always at the same location (address) you need to define a specific segment and update the linker script to address that segment. There have been several articles on this list as well as on the avrfreaks forum

Subject: [avr-gcc-list] define const char

How can I define a const char, to ensure that the data will always be stored in program memory at the same address?

 

I would like to acquire the application version number from the bootloader software.
