Re: [avr-gcc-list] Non initialized data in EEPROM

[dimax un]

Actually it is not only one variable. I have about 1K of initialized
space and 3k of non initialized space allocated in EEPROM. ( I have
put one variably to make the problem clear ).
I still think the right solution is to define two sections and flag
one of them as non loadable. But not sure about it and I think there
is a more simple solution.
