I would like to generate a pointer array in flash (ROM) initialized with the addresses of tool generated variables (G4 CapSense data from the structure) for tuning and general debugging. This way I'm able to use a loop to index the data without using the macro "CapSense_BUTTON0_SNS0_RAW0_VALUE". I've tried named areas and assigned the area to flash in the build settings for the linker.
I understand
const uint8 Variable = 0x12; // Put in flash.
needs an initializer to put it into flash. Otherwise the compiler create a RAM variable.
const uint8 Variable; // Put in RAM.
Here is a snippet of the declaration. The comments added are what I've determine by using the debugger to confirm the compiler's placement in memory. I have successfully used a struct in a named area in flash with initializers before, so I'm puzzled why the declaration and initialization does not work.
uint16 * const VariableCapSense_sensorRaw4[] = // INCORRECT array in FLASH of random? addresses.
{
&CapSense_BUTTON0_SNS0_RAW0_VALUE,
&CapSense_BUTTON1_SNS0_RAW0_VALUE,
&CapSense_BUTTON2_SNS0_RAW0_VALUE,
&CapSense_BUTTON3_SNS0_RAW0_VALUE
};
This should be the correct construction - VariableCapSense_sensorRaw4[] is an array in const memory of pointers to uint16's in RAM.
But my results placed this array at address 0 according to the debugger.
