SoftwareSerial runs out of "text" space on ATtiny I have an ATtiny and am trying to send a very large byte array stored in a separate .h file over SoftwareSerial:

for (int i=0; i&lt;numElements; i++) {
    softSerial.println(myList[i]);
}


I imagine it will very slow, which is fine, but I'm getting a cryptic error when compiling:

Firmware.ino.elf section `.data' will not fit in region `text'


It seems that this is due to the println() command running out of memory for some reason – if I comment out the println() command everything works fine. How to fix this?
Your sketch doesn't fit into program memory of the ATtiny. If you comment out the println of the array, the compiler evaluates that the array is not used and doesn't attach it to the program. Then the program fits into memory.

EDIT
Chad suggests some good alternatives below, if you need to store more data than flash or PROGMEM will allow.
