BSS

BSS is the memory space reserved for uninitialized data. The compiler will put all uninitialized data here. If the Zero initialized globals live in data instead of BSS checkbox in the M56800E Processor Panel is checked, the globals that are initialized to zero reside in the .data section instead of the .bss section. The stationery init code zeroes this area at startup. See the M56852 init (startup) code in this chapter for general information and the stationery init code files for specific target implementation details.

Note: Instead of accessing the original Stationery files themselves (in the Stationery folder), create a new project using Stationery which will make copies of the specific target board files such as the LCF.
