Yes, you can force selected portions of code into any type of memory
you wish by linking with +c[cdb].  Look in the linker manual page 5-15
for more detailed info.

You can force executable code, inititialized data and uninitialized data
into either chip or fast memory with the linker options +c and +f. There
is no way to force specific variables into chip ram as in Lattice's
chip keyword.

A big oversight by Manx, IMHO.
