Allocating a Segment in Specific Memory

In the PRM file, you can define where you want to allocate each segment you have defined in your source code. In order to place a segment in a specific memory area, just add the segment name in the PLACEMENT block of your PRM file. Be careful, as the linker is case-sensitive. Pay special attention to the upper and lower cases in your segment name.
