<p>You can assign a section to a previously defined region of memory by
using &lsquo;<samp>&gt;<var>region</var></samp>&rsquo;. See <a href="MEMORY.html#MEMORY">MEMORY</a>.
</p>
<p>Here is a simple example:
</p><div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">MEMORY { rom : ORIGIN = 0x1000, LENGTH = 0x1000 }
SECTIONS { ROM : { *(.text) } &gt;rom }
</pre></div>
