I am planning to use some part of flash memory in the LPC1114 to store data and want to tell LPCXpresso not to place my code there. How do I do this? In IAR, I would edit a linker file. There does seem to be an equivalent xx-mem.ld file, but it gets overwritten on each build.

Thanks,
Tom

You need to switch off the automatic linker script generation.

To do this:
- Right-click on the project and select Properties
- Open C/C++ Build and select Settings
- Under MCU Linker, select Target
- Uncheck "Manage linker script"

Before editing the linker script files, I would also recommend that you use a different location for the linker script locations:
- Change the linker script name to "../script.ld"
and copy the 3 .ld files into the parent directory.

You can find full documentation on the linker scripts in the Help.
