msp430fr allocating more memory to ram

Hi,

which compiler are you using? this question is basically compiler specific. You need to adapt the linker configuration file (IAR) or the linker command file (CCS) to provide some portion of the FRAM memory for the big variable. Search e.g. for "pragma DATA_SECTION" or "pragma location" in this forum.

I'm usng CCS . Is there a wiki on how to configure the linker?

Thanks

I am very confused.

If the chip has only 1KB of RAM and you want more, you have to use a different chip with more RAM.

Telling the linker to "Allocate" more RAM can only fool the linker. It does not solve the problem.

Well,

i guess the OP meant "data memory" as "RAM".

Sorry about the confusion. What I meant was to put data variable on fram instead of sram, as in a large array.
