Hi!
Yes, you're right. But as I've said before, I am making an additonal data file containig eeprom code. In my case I need 2 files, so I am not using "ORG 2000H" directive.
In my applications, typical, the EEPROM content, is:
-parameters (settings),
-strings (labels).
You can write it your self using i.e. hex editor. You don't need special assembler and linker.
