Hi Sudhersan,
I'm not working with MPC500-series chips at the moment, but the usual
approach is to declare/use a "non-init" segment. Most compilers will
generate startup code that initialises all RAM apart from the non-init
segment.
I'm not sure of the details for doing this on your specific platform
(compiler, in particular). However, your compiler manual should
contain something on the subject.
As an alternative, you could tweak the startup code itself to skip a
certain location(s). Not recommended, but often done.
