How to increase stack size in CCS 6.1

Cynthia Crutchfield

Hello,

I would like to increase the stack size for my project but can't seem to find where that's specified. Anyone know where it is in CCS 6.1?

THANKS!

Hi Cynthia,

Here's an example for C2000 family: Project Properties -> Linker -> Basic Options

Thank you Gautam, but in CCS 6.1 the linker options do not reference the stack at all! I've combed through the forums to no avail! I hope someone out there can help.

Amazing. I'm using the ARM Compiler/Linker and I have very different options. I guess I should have specified that...

Yep- I've read both. But neither gives details on how to modify the stack if you're using the ARM compiler/linker. I'm going to try to modify the .cmd file in my project- even though the file states, "If you are using CCS for building, it is probably better to make any such modifications in your CCS project and leave this file alone."

Cynthia,

it's not really clear to me which compiler you refer to when saying "ARM compiler/linker". Is it the TI compiler for the ARM architecture (e.g. ti-cgt-arm_5.2.5)? In that case the stack size can be defined in the 'ARM Linker -> Basic Options' as shown in the below screenshot (similar to what was already shown for the C2000 compiler).

If you're using gcc instead (e.g. gcc-arm-none-eabi-4_8-2014q3) you can find a STACKSIZE definition in "GNU Linker -> Symbols". The value of that symbol could be changed depending on your requirements.

Best regards,

Manfred

I've included a screen shot of my linker options, which are not many. Putting "stack" in the search box yields no results. I've searched through the properties section- if there's a stack option in there it's well hidden...

Hi,

Just expand the small triangle near ARM Linker and select the Basic Options. You should see the screen below:

Hope this helps,

Oh my gosh Rafael! How can something so simple be so difficult! Yes, that was what I was looking for and what I needed. Amazing how wonderful it is to have your variables retain the values you set them to! I can't thank you enough for helping me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great you were able to find that option under linker settings :)

Goodluck & Regards,
