data memory mapping microblaze

Hi everyone,

I'm dealing with an mb-lite which is clone of the microblaze 
architecture and I'm trying to understand how the memory mapping works.

We have memory mapped registers which are needed to exchange data 
between the uP and the FPGA and it should be pretty straight forward to 
map this memory into a segment in 'data memory', but unfortunately it 
seems the object-dump does not seem to show anything but a list of 
segments with no distinction between 'data memory' and 'instruction 
memory'.

IIRC on similar Harvard Architectures (like the ADSP21xx) you could 
write the linker script to store data and instructions.

I'm using a mb-gcc and I've looked to the ld refernce, but how can you 
specify that a set of registers need to go to the data memory to a 
specific address? Or is it implicitely assumed that .data segments would 
go to a 'data memory'?

Anyone with any pointer?

Al

Apologize for stepping on somebody else's foot, I missed it when reading
