Hi Team,
We are facing an issue where vApplicationMallocFailedHook gets triggered when creating multiple tasks.
Context:
We are trying to develop a FreeRTOS application using the NXP-provided RTOS SDK for the iMX8 QuadMax board. We can create, build, and run sample hello world application. We are using the build_debug.sh script to build the application.
Issue:
When we create multiple tasks(around 4-5 tasks) with a stack depth of 0x800U with just some minimal logs, vApplicationMallocFailedHook function gets triggered and the application behaves unexpectedly afterward.
Additional Info:
We found a few threads regarding the same where the solution suggests increasing the heap size using some version of MCUXpresso IDE.

Questions:
- Is increasing heap size the proper way to resolve vApplicationMallocFailedHook issue or should we look into something else?
- If we need to increase heap size, how to do it without using the MCUXpresso IDE? Which file(s) do we need to edit to increase the heap size?
