I created a linker script file as memory.ld –
MEMORY
{
MYMEMORY(rw) : ORIGIN = 0x0041c620 , LENGTH = 30
}
.myvars (NOLOAD) :
{
*(.myvarloc)
} > MYMEMORY
In my c program :
__attribute__((section(".myvarloc")))
uint8 measurements[30];
I am using eclipse IDE on linux rtos. I added –T memory.ld in project –
properties -- linker – libraries – miscellaneous in eclipse I am
creating this because : I want a fixed memory address for the variable
measurements of size 30 starting from 0x0041c620 .
My question : Is it right way of doing this ?? If I do like above : I am
getting error as – Linker input file unused and linking not done.

Presumably, the command line comes with -c -Werror :-)
I added project –- properties -- C/C++ Build -- Settings -- GCC C linker –- miscellaneous : -T memory.ld project –- properties -- C/C++ Build -- Settings -- GCC C compiler –- Miscellaneous : -c -fmessage-length=0 -std=gnu99 project –- properties -- C/C++ Build -- Settings -- GCC C linker : gcc -Wall -lrt -pthread -ld
Again, please post your commandlines. Don't expect others to use the same IDE as you are using. Somehow, Eclipse will certainly be able to tell you which commands it is invoking.

No idea how you can convince your Eclipse plugin to not insert the -L, you have to read the plugin documentation. Also, I guess your memory.ld is actually located at /home/user/workspace/FEBRUARY/memory.ld rather than in the build directory. You probably must prefix it with "../" . But that won't help you as long as Eclipse expects your linker script to be a library.
