DSP/BIOS stack & heap vs. Build Settings stack & heap

Todd Anderson78572

All:

There are 2 places to set up stack and heap when using DSP/BIOS - in the .tcf file and in the build settings under the linker.

1. Is it important to make sure that they match?

2. If one forgets to change both places, which setting would take precedence?

This is more of a generic question, but for the record, I am using C6713, DSP/BIOS 5.42, CGT 7.4.4

Hi Todd,

The bios.MEM.STACKSIZE param in the .tcf file determines the System stack size. My understanding is that changing the stack size under linker settings has no effect on system stack size. So, if you want to change the stack size, use .tcf file to do it.

Best,

Ashish

Is it also this way for heap?
