Preserve a section of FLASH memory during programming

Following in the directions of this post, I am able to reserve and write to (and read back) from a section of FLASH dedicated to calibration data. However, when I reprogram the device, the IDE wipes the whole memory clean before programming and we lose all the data. Since we are in a debugging cycle, we are constantly reprogramming and have to write the calibration back as a first step every time. Is there a way to tell the IDE to only erase a certain region of memory corresponding to the program data? Thanks.

Modified linker memory definitions:

/* Memories definition */

MEMORY

{

 DTCMRAM  (xrw)  : ORIGIN = 0x20000000,  LENGTH = 128K

 ITCMRAM  (xrw)  : ORIGIN = 0x00000000,  LENGTH = 64K

 RAM_D1  (xrw)  : ORIGIN = 0x24000000,  LENGTH = 512K

 RAM_D2  (xrw)  : ORIGIN = 0x30000000,  LENGTH = 288K

 RAM_D3  (xrw)  : ORIGIN = 0x38000000,  LENGTH = 64K

 FLASH  (rx)   : ORIGIN = 0x8000000,  LENGTH = 1792K

 TABLE   (rwx)   : ORIGIN = 0x81C0000,  LENGTH = 128K

 DATA  (rwx)   : ORIGIN = 0x81E0000,  LENGTH = 128K

}

What we see when programming:

Erasing memory corresponding to segment 0:

Erasing internal memory sector 0

Erasing memory corresponding to segment 1:

Erasing internal memory sector 14

Erasing memory corresponding to segment 2:

Erasing internal memory sector 15
