Hi,
I am using imxrt1021 mcu.
IDE: MCUXpresso IDE v11.4.1_6260
SDK: 2.10.0
I am using FreeRTOS. Using a sd card demo example
I am trying to move the heap and stack for my project on to SDRAM as i need more heap space.Have changed it in the linker script settings as below
I am able to move it to SRAM_OC this works fine. When i change it to SD_RAM it fails and i get a timeout error.
Did a lot of search but could not find a proper solution for this.
Do i need to set up any other settings?
Can any one please give me some pointers/ reference to some documents on how to change it?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
Thank you for the response.
Attached is my setting screen shot and BOARD_ConfigMPU configuration.
Please do let me know if i need to modify anything

}Hi,
I tested the same and enable SDRAM by adding following compiler options in sdcard_freertos example:
XIP_BOOT_HEADER_DCD_ENABLE=1
SKIP_SYSCLK_INIT
I changed heap and stack to SDRAM.
And I was able to see heap and stack moved to SDRAM location as you can see below
Have a great day,
Felipe
