Memory allocation error

I can see that there is additional memory on the board.  How do you use it ??

can someone help me? Please

I think you can allocate the error linked sections into external memory and if possible, you can attach your linker generated *.map file for others to specify the problem.

I know there is a way to store info on the external memory on the board but im not sure how.  Thats really what my questions is

Inside the BIOS graphical configuration tool right-click on MEM and select Properties.  You can now go through and choose in which memory things get allocated.

By the way Im using CCS3.1 .....I have a ton of global variables that are double floating point arrays.  Do I just move the address into the external memory manually?

I cant seem to find this....Please advise

Do I change the heap size of SDRAM?

Your error message stated that you were trying to allocate various sections into "ISRAM" which I assume to be internal SRAM.  There was not enough space so you therefore need to move some of the items to another memory.  Inside the GUI you need to change your allocations such that you're not putting everything in ISRAM.  Put some stuff into into external memory.

Do I type a command in my code to put it in the SDRAM?  Its not obvious on what you do in the MEM.  Under MEM i got ISRAM properties  and SDRAM properties...I right clicked them and Im not sure what to do from there.

The video does not show me how to do it for ccs 3.1

Huh?  We've been using this exact same GUI for years...

ok maybe there is some confusion on where i should be looking...I have my project open...now how do i get to the configuration tool

You're using BIOS, right?  Based on the fact that your errors were lated to .sts and .clk (common sections in BIOS) I have been under that assumption.  If you are using BIOS 5.x then you should have a tcf file as part of your project.  Just double-click it to launch the config tool.  If you're on older BIOS 4.90 then you would have a cdb file instead of tcf but it should still function roughly equivalent (it's just not readable as a text file).

yeah I had a .cbd file....I seems to be fixed. Thank you...One more question...What did I move on to the memory exactly...Global Variables?
