use the EMPTY attribute to reserve an empty block of memory
place ARM-supplied library code
use preprocessing directives.

For additional examples on accessing data and functions at fixed addresses, see the chapter describing how to develop embedded software in RealView Compilation Tools v3.0 Developer Guide.
