Hi,
I wonder if someone can help me out. I have got an ATXMEGA128A1 with external SRAM (0x4000-0xFFFF). I tried to port the project from WINAVR to AS6.1. The program runs and nearly everything is fine, but why do these EXTRAM sections appear in the Intel Hex File (filled with 00)?
Here is my linker call:
avr-gcc.exe -o MyAs6Port.elf main.o aaa.o bbb.o ccc.o -Wl,-s -Wl,-Map="MyAs6Port.map" -Wl,--start-group -Wl,-lm -Wl,--end-group -Wl,--gc-sections -mrelax -Wl,-section-start=.extram1=0x804000 -Wl,-section-start=.extram2=0x80432d -Wl,-section-start=.buffextram=0x80b000 -mmcu=atxmega128a1
Excerpt from my intel hex file:
:0200000400807A
:1040000000000000000000000000000000000000B0
Why does it fill the RAM address 0x804000 with zeros?
Here is the variable array which is located at 0x80400:
static uint8_t temp_buf[BUFSIZE_MUX_TX] __attribute__ ((section (".extram1")));
