The only way I can think this is possible with the CE tools is to use
multiple XIP regions. A main region for the OS, and another region for your
version. Overkill, but it would work.
A better idea might be to put the version in data structure with a well
known signature that you could search for. Or you could modify the image in
a post build step to place a version number in a region before or after the
rest of the image.

I understand the MEMORY section but have a question. How can I reserve
a section of memory at a particular addrees for a "const string". I
need to have in my kernel image a string that contains a version number
and then in my bootloader look at that address to retreive the version.
My kernel image will be on a SD disk which I can read sectors from the
bootloader.
In other compilers/linkers I can reserve object files at a particular
address in the image. So I can have a C file and only have one const
declaration in it which I can then put it in the "text" section of the
image.
Not sure how to do this with Windows CE or if it can be done, any ideas?
