5.1 Directives that Define Sections

Sections are locatable blocks of code or data that will occupy contiguous locations in the 32-bit device memory. Three sections are pre-defined: .text for executable code, .data for initialized data and .bss for uninitialized data. Other sections may be defined; the linker defines several that are useful for locating data in specific areas of 32-bit memory.

The section directives follow.
