    Hi Andy!  By an astonishing coincidence me and one of the guys here
have been trying to solve that exact same problem this morning.  I don't
know if we've got it yet, but I notice one thing:

>I have added the following to arm.ld (linker file)

>#define SECTION_ivoryDataStore(_region_, _vma_, _lma_) \
>    .ivoryDataStore _vma_ : _lma_ \
>    { FORCE_OUTPUT; *(.ivoryDataStore) } \
>    > _region_

  I think that second line should perhaps say

>    .ivoryDataStore _vma_ : AT _lma_ \


based on my reading of
