Hi everyone,
I'm using the MIMXRT1064-EVK with the MCUXpresso IDE (v11.0.0 [Build 2516] [2019-06-05]) for a project.
I'm facing a memory issue when the linker is invoked. Apparently the BSS section is too large and I don't have enough RAM.
this is the memory details:
and this is the current issue i'm facing:
I have a huge BSS section. I'm working on a large project with FreeRTOS and lwip enabled. Since the linked can't be completed I can't run a size on the executable to show you the BSS section. I put in attachment my *.ld files.
My questions are:
- Regarding my memory details can I increase the RAM space and how?
- Is there anything you can advise me to do regarding this issue?
Thank you,
Hello Florian Fouillet,
Regarding my memory details can I increase the RAM space and how?
Yes, you can increase the SRAM_DTC. Within the SDK you will find an example called "flexram_ram_allocate", in this example you can select how many blocks you want for each SRAM region. Once you run this example, you need to modify
the size of each SRAM region on the memory details of your project to match the new sizes that you programmed with the ram_allocate example.
If your BSS fits on the OCRAM, you can put this region below PROGRAM_FLASH on the memory details of your project, like shown below.
Once you make this change, the compiler will place the BSS on the OCRAM automatically. This option is faster since you don't have to modify the RAM regions at all.
Is there anything you can advise me to do regarding this issue?
Any of the two methods mentioned before are good to solve the issue you are facing.
Have a great day,
TIC
