Post Body

I'm working on reverse-engineering a 68000-based target with Ghidra. I've got my disassembly, but now I'd like to tell Ghidra about some of the memory-mapped peripherals on the target board.

Normally in IDA Pro, I'd create a segment for each peripheral, then name the addresses of that peripheral's registers.

What is the nearest equivalent (or easiest way to do this) in Ghidra?

I've seen a couple of Sega Genesis loaders which I could modify, but I'll still need to know how to add newly-discovered peripherals and ports to the register map after I've loaded the binary.
