I thought this answer was in the avr-libc user manual somwhere. The linker cannot do separate address spaces, it only knows about a single address space. So .data, .bss, .eeprom are set at specific, very high offsets to make them fit in this single address space and not overlap the .text (code) section. Add the relevant offset to your -section-start flag. See the default linker scripts to see how this works. _______________________________________________ AVR-GCC-list mailing list AVR-GCC-list@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/avr-gcc-list
