Hi Karunanithi Pratheep,

It seems that the RAM required for your global and static variables, plus the stack, may exceed the available RAM capacity. Please take a look to Jorge Gonzalez's answer on the following post, it explains how you can find a summary of the memory usage in the *.map file:

the followings are memory allocation  form my .Prm file,

if i use more then 128 bytes it showing tiny ram error... how can i utilze 256 bytes of ram..

NAMES END /* CodeWarrior will pass all the needed files to the linker by command line. But here you may add your own files too. */

SEGMENTS /* Here all RAM/ROM areas of the device are listed. Used in PLACEMENT below. */

    TINY_RAM                 =  READ_WRITE   0x0005 TO 0x000D;

    RAM                      =  READ_WRITE   0x0050 TO 0x00BF;

    RAM1                     =  NO_INIT      0x0100 TO 0x017F;

    RESERVED_RAM             =  NO_INIT      0x0000 TO 0x0004;

    ROM                      =  READ_ONLY    0x2000 TO 0x3F00;

    CONST_PAGE               =  READ_ONLY     0x3f01 TO 0x3FF9;

END

PLACEMENT /* Here all predefined and user segments are placed into the SEGMENTS defined above. */

    RESERVED                 INTO RESERVED_RAM;

    TINY_RAM_VARS            INTO TINY_RAM;

    DIRECT_RAM_VARS          INTO RAM, TINY_RAM;

    Myuse                    INTO RAM1;

    DEFAULT_RAM              INTO RAM, TINY_RAM;

    DEFAULT_ROM              INTO ROM;

    CONST_ROM               INTO CONST_PAGE;

END

STACKSIZE 0x00 /* no stack for RS08 */

/*********************************************************************************************/

READ_ONLY (R):        1CE6 (dec:     7398)

READ_WRITE (R/W):       78 (dec:      120)

NO_INIT (N/I):          B4 (dec:      180)

Hi Karunanithi Pratheep,

By looking at the information in your .prm file, your DEFAULT_RAM segment is only using the RAM and TINY RAM segments, the RAM1 is only used for the Myuse segment this is why you are only using half the RAM. Is there a specific reason to use the RAM1 segment only for the Myuse segment?

What you can do is modify the PLACEMENT to the following:

PLACEMENT /* Here all predefined and user segments are placed into the SEGMENTS defined above. */

     .

     .

     .

    DEFAULT_RAM              INTO RAM, RAM1, TINY_RAM;

     .

     .

     .

END

Hope it helps!
