problem allocating memory with malloc function

[frbetelu]

Hi,

I have a problem allocating memory whit malloc function. I can allocate only 488 bytes with these function.
I´m working on a 56F8323 EVM. Also, I'm using DSP56800E Configuration Tool and DSP56800E Quick Start API for peripheral managment.

Please help!  Thank you very, very much.

Thank You, but don´t worry. My problem is resolved by editing the LCF file. I changed the Heap size.

Best regards,

FRB

Hi,

It seems I've got the same problems like 

I build a program for a DSP56F807, I use 2 PWM, serial communication, I²C and SPI communication and I want to use the malloc function to dynamically allocate memory but when my project become very big it seems the malloc doesn't work very well.

I think i should changed the heap size but I don't know how I'm supposed to do that.

I heard there is an another function like malloc but especially for the DSP56xxx series, it is true ?

Best Regards
