Workaround:

Hide
One workaround is to use specific placement in the linker command file. In the C code, replace the #pragma LOCATION with a #pragma DATA_SECTION ...

    #pragma DATA_SECTION(device_fw_info_ptr, "for_device");

And in the linker command file, replace the whole .TI.bound line with this ...

    for_device > 0x00018000, palign(8), fill = 0xffffffff
