11.3.3.4 persist [DD]

The persist attribute specifies that a section should be allocated as persistent storage in data memory, as defined by region data in the linker script. Persistent storage is not cleared or initialized by the C run-time library. The following attributes may be used in conjunction with persist and will further specify the allocation:

• address() specifies an absolute address
• near specifies the first 64K of data memory
• xmemory specifies X address space, which includes all of region data below the address __YDATA_BASE as defined in the linker script
• ymemory specifies Y address space, which includes all of region data above the address __YDATA_BASE as defined in the linker script
• align() specifies alignment of the section starting address
• reverse() specifies alignment of the section ending address + 1
