Re: [avr-gcc-list] Table in bootloader section

[Marko Panger AGB Lab]

If I understend well at this time there is no possibility to place a 
table in the bootloader section, because If I define a table as 
prog_char, the table will be placed in the .progmem section.

Is this correct ?

Hmm... could be possible to relocate the .text section to a defined 
address ?
