LOAD

Loads one or several segments at a specific address.

Syntax

LOAD(address)

Parameter

address

A memory address, such as 0x80000400.

Remarks

Use LOAD directive to specify an external ROM addr_mode.
The LOAD directive can be used on all the sections going into ROM.
The directive is ignored in links if Generate ROM image is not checked in the linker preference panel.
Inconsistent initialized data sections copied from ROM to RAM may need a reference to a ROM address. For example, to store the .data and .sdata sections in ROM such that they are immediately after the .text section, try the following:
```
.text LOAD(ADDR(.text)) : {} > rom 
```
```
.data LOAD(ROMADDR(.text) + SIZEOF(.text)): {} > code
```
```
.sdata LOAD(ROMADDR(.data) + SIZEOF(.data)): {} > code
```
