5.9.6 .incbin “file”[,skip[,count]]

The .incbin directive includes file verbatim at the current location. The file is assumed to contain binary data. The search paths used can be specified with the -I command-line option (see Assembler Command Line Options). Quotation marks are required around file.

The skip argument skips a number of bytes from the start of the file. The count argument indicates the maximum number of bytes to read. Note that the data is not aligned in any way, so it is the user's responsibility to make sure that proper alignment is provided both before and after the .incbin directive.

When used in an executable section, all bytes are filled on PIC32A devices.
