Hi,
is there any possibility to locate constant on given address in LPCXpresso? I need to put serial number to known position for automatically updating it in production.
Thank you for your tips.

The syntax you are trying to use, "__attribute__((at(" looks like it is taken from some code written for the Keil/RealView ARM compiler. It is not supported by GCC (as used by LPCXpresso), so I'm a little surprised that you say that it works under Rowley, (as that uses GCC too).

Thus as already pointed out, with LPCXpresso, you will need to modify the linker script.

Thank you for your answers, but it is a little bit complicated. I wish something like:
const unsigned long serial_num __attribute__((at(0x1F18))) = SER_NUM;
it works in Rowley's CrossStudio.
Is it such a possibility in LPCXpressou too, or only way is through modify linker script to define memory region?
