8.27 Example of placing code in a root region

Using scatter files
Use a scatter file to specify a root section in the same way as a named section. The following
example uses the section selector InRoot$$Sections to place all sections that must be in a root
region:
Example 8-18 Specifying a root region
ROM_LOAD 0x0000 0x4000
{
ROM_EXEC 0x0000 0x4000 ; root region at 0x0
{
vectors.o (Vect, +FIRST) ; Vector table
* (InRoot$$Sections) ; All library sections that must be in a
; root region, for example, __main.o,
; __scatter*.o, __dc*.o, and * Region$$Table
}
RAM 0x10000 0x8000
{
* (+RO, +RW, +ZI) ; all other sections
}
}
