When a variable is declared as constant in C, it has to be initialized at compile time. This means that the compiler has to be able to know the value you are assigning to the variable. However, you are attempting to a assign the value of a variable, which is not known at compile time. Thus, you receive an error during compilation.

It's defined as:

uint8_t my_own_data;

in my .c file.

How is my_own_data defined?

Update: When writing data, it is record_chunk.p_data that needs the data. The easiest is to assign my_own_data directly to p_data:

record_chunk.p_data         = &my_own_data;
