10.2.3.2 Allocation of Data-attributed Sections

The data section attribute specifies that a section should be allocated as initialized storage in data memory, as defined by regions kseg0_data_mem and kseg1_data_mem in the linker script. The following attributes may be used in conjunction with data and will further specify the allocation:

• address() specifies an absolute address
• near specifies the first 64 KB of data memory
• align() specifies alignment of the section starting address
• reverse() specifies alignment of the section ending address + 1
