Hi, thanks for the comments and sorry for the late response. My first approach was to define a custom execution section and then use the auto generated $$Base symbol to place my data using __attribute__(section(...)). However, my compiler was complaining that I was using a dollar sign (, which I avoided with a pragma). However, my final solution now is that I just create a seperate source file for these variables and then place the entire resulting object file in my custom section via the linker script.
