Hi,
I have an ld script for a statically linked application. The section for initialized data is specified as:
.data : { __DATA_START = .; (.data) __DATA_END = .; } > ram AT > flash
Which creates the .data section itself, as well as a const section of the same size. Is there some way to name the const part, so I can deside where its placed?

The placement at run-time is determined by > ram, and the placement of the constant copy is determined by AT > flash.
You can create a new memory section and point to it instead of ram or flash, depending on which you like to place elsewhere.
The constants by GCC are usually in named sections .rodata*.
