[ECOS] Placing data at an absolute address

["Laurie Gellatly" <laurie dot gellatly at netic dot com>]

Hi All,
For our eCos application, I'd like to place the MAC address at a particular
address in flash
and have it loaded as part of storing Redboot into the flash.
At production time, a script would be run that finds that address section in
redboot.elf and
updates it before it is stored into the next unit.
Finding the section in the elf is not the hard bit.
I've tried adding a new section on the gcc command line and adding a
variable into the
C source which almost works except the section size is of length 0.
How can I make the section 6 bytes long or is there a better way to do this
whole thing?

Thanks			...Laurie:{)
