heap problem

SYS/BIOS supplies a HeapMem instance to be used for malloc/free. This is done to reduce footprint and improve performance. Based on the assert error and line number, it looks like you are trying to free an block of memory that has already been freed. Here is the code that is calling the assert (bolded) on line 350.

    /* Go down freelist and find right place for buf */
    while (nextHeader != NULL && nextHeader < newHeader) {
        /* Make sure the addr is not in this free block */
        Assert_isTrue(((UArg)newHeader >= (UArg)nextHeader + nextHeader->size),
                       HeapMem_A_invalidFree);
        curHeader = nextHeader;
        nextHeader = nextHeader->next;        
    }

This loop is finding the where buffer to be freed is located. Note: if there is a free block before or after it, the free blocks will be merged into one block. The assert is making sure the address to free is not within a currently free block. Please use ROV in CCS (Tools->ROV) to look at the HeapMem instance. One of the tabs shows the free and used blocks of memory. With that you should be able to see that the memory you are trying to free is already free.
