Description

When operating in run-from-flash mode, the sections .exceptions, .rodata, and .rwdata are

automatically loaded from the boot device to RAM at boot time. However, if there are any additional

sections that require loading, the alt_load_section() function loads them manually before these

sections are used.

The input argument from is the start address in the boot device of the section; to is the start address in

RAM of the section, and end is the end address in RAM of the section.

To load one of the additional memory sections provided by the default linker script, use the macro

ALT_LOAD_SECTION_BY_NAME rather than calling alt_load_section() directly. For example, to load the

section .onchip_ram, use the following code:

ALT_LOAD_SECTION_BY_NAME(onchip_ram);

The leading ‘.’ is omitted in the section name. This macro is defined in the header sys/alt_load.h.
