Hi I would like to write data to internal flash. I use function:

_attribute_ ((section (".ramfunc"))) int AT91F_Flash_Write( unsigned 
int Flash_Address ,int size ,unsigned int * buff)
{
    AT91PS_MC ptMC = AT91C_BASE_MC;
    unsigned int i, page, status;
    unsigned int * Flash;

    status = 0;

    Flash = (unsigned int *) Flash_Address;
        page = ((Flash_Address - (unsigned int)AT91C_IFLASH ) 
/FLASH_PAGE_SIZE);

        for (i=0; (i < FLASH_PAGE_SIZE) & (size > 0) ;i++, 
Flash++,buff++,size-=4 ){
    *Flash=*buff;
    }

    unsigned long ulIntrStat = AT91C_BASE_AIC->AIC_IMR;
    AT91C_BASE_AIC->AIC_IDCR = 0xFFFFFFFF;

    ptMC->MC_FCR =AT91C_MC_CORRECT_KEY | AT91C_MC_FCMD_START_PROG | 
(AT91C_MC_PAGEN & (page<<8));

    for(i=0;i<100000;i++) asm("nop");

     while ((status & AT91C_MC_FRDY) != AT91C_MC_FRDY )
     {
         status = AT91C_BASE_MC->MC_FSR;
     }

    AT91C_BASE_AIC->AIC_IECR = ulIntrStat;

    if ( (status & ( AT91C_MC_PROGE | AT91C_MC_LOCKE ))!=0)
    return false;
    return true;
}

The problem is that the error occurs during making project:

arm-elf-ld: error: no memory region specified for loadable section 
`.ramfunc'
make: *** [main.out] Error 1

I use Eclipse with Yagarto.

Please for help. Thanks in Advance.

make sure the linker script includes an entry *(.ramfunc*) near the 
*(data...) line. IRC the linker-scripts included in the Atmel Software 
Packages include such entry (with such an entry the input section 
.ramfunc gets linked into the output-section .data with RAM VMA). So if 
there is no special reason to use another linker-script please try with 
one from the software-package.

If it still does not work, attach the linker-script you are using to a 
message.

Hi

I attached my linker script. I changed file as You suggest and there is 
no more error :) . I would be pleased if You could check it  because to 
be honest I'm not to good at linkers scripts.

The extenstion of the script should be o.k. like this. Just look into 
the map-file to see how the linker assigend addresses.
