23.3.3.6 Configuration Words Input/Output Section Map

The last section in the processor definitions linker script is the input/output section map for Configuration Words. This section map is additive to the Input/Output Section Map found in the default linker script (see 23.3.4 Input/Output Section Map). It defines how input sections for Configuration Words are mapped to output sections for Configuration Words. Note that input sections are portions of an application that are defined in source code, while output sections are created by the linker. Generally, several input sections may be combined into a single output section. All output sections are specified within a SECTIONS command in the linker script.

For each Configuration Word that exists on the specific processor, a distinct output section named .config_address exists where address is the location of the Configuration Word in memory. Each of these sections contains the data created by the #pragma config directive (see 22.3 Pragma Directives) for that Configuration Word. Each section is assigned to their respective memory region (con-fign).
