AM5718: Using RAM for logs

Part Number: AM5718

Hello,

Clients is developing a project on AM5718 with embedded Linux. Currently they’re having problems with OS provided with SDK – it’s writing all logs and other data to Flash and they’re having concerns that after couple of years this will lead to memory corruption. They want to write only in RAM and/or not to use Flash at all.

Can this issue be resolved through code? What's the best course of action?

    Hi,

    This is more of a general Linux question and not much we do here that is TI specific. Therefore they will likely find better, more complete examples and trade offs in the Linux general community.

    As this is a very broad question, I can't really speak to specifics. Each log usually has it's own configuration. They will need to isolate the specific concerns that they have and research how to move those specifc logs to somewhere in RAM, or disable them completely if they like. I don't know of one general Linux config that will get everything.

    Depending on the log being discussed, there will be different resources that should be helpful in the open source community.

    I hope this is helpful to you.
