Look at __attribute__(section("section_name")) in conjunction with the
linker file to achieve what you're after.

Subject: How to declare an array of constants to be stored in FLASH only
I am using the GCC compiler for an Atmel ATMEGA128 target.
I would like to declare a large array of constants so that it is
accessible from FLASH and does not use RAM.
static const unsigned char Data[] = {0x45, 0x23, .....} The above seems
to copy the constant data into RAM Is there a way to declare the above
array so that it does not create an initialized data in RAM I was able
to do this with a different compiler/linker with the __flash keyword
static const __flash unsigned char Data[] = {0x45, 0x23, .....} Thanks
in advance, Jeff
