External flash with IAR

[moredatalesscenter]

Are there any examples how to move images to external flash using IAR? All the examples seem to be using STM32IDE .ld linker files.

Look at the .ICF files, look at other examples and documentation.

Thanks, I have it working now, using non-addressable external flash and bitmap cache.

More of a general question now @Community member​ :-

Looking at forum posts related to external flash and the documentation, the focus in on reading the images / fonts / text data via a file system, rather than directly via addressable flash or non-addressable flash with a loader. Is it possible either way?

Binary fonts want you to point at a mapped address (ie somewhere in the MCU's 4G addressable space), this could either be a QSPI address, Internal Flash, or a RAM address where you've pulled the data from a "file" or other non-mapped resource
