6.13.2.1. Simple Placement Options

The reset handler code is always placed at the base of the .reset partition. The general exception funnel code is always the first code in the section that contains the exception address. By default, the remaining code and data are divided into the following output sections:
  • .text—All remaining code
  • .rodata—The read-only data
  • .rwdata—Read-write data
  • .bss—Zero-initialized data

You can control the placement of .text, .rodata, .rwdata, and all other memory partitions by manipulating BSP settings.

You can launch the BSP Editor in Platform Designer, or at the command line of the Nios® V processor tools. The BSP Editor allows you to perform the following tasks:
  • Manipulates the linker’s memory map.
  • Displays memory section and region assignments graphically.
  • See overlapping or unused sections of memory.
