I have access to the binary > blob by declaring an extern variable: Just another point to consider: objcopy can also be used to do this process, and has the benefit of allowing you to rename the created data section and change its flags; I do this to make the section named '.rodata' and mark it READONLY, which will help with swapping and other related things (since it won't have to be swapped out). This can also be done using ld, but requires writing a small linker script to accomplish the same result. -- Kevin P.
