I have a font table that was previously stored in PROGMEM. According to the <a href="http://leaflabs.com/docs/arm-gcc.html">docs</a> I should use something like:</p> <p><code>static unsigned char font[] __attribute__((section (&quot;.USER_FLASH&quot;))) = { ... };</code></p> <p>Which seems to compile fine. Now, how exactly do I read it? Do I refer to <code>font</code> as a regular variable, i.e.: <code>font[0]</code> will return the first element, etc. ? Or is there a special function similar to <code>pgm_read_byte(..)</code> ?</p> <p>-robodude666 </p>
