How big is the executable

Hello,

 

I am trying to determine the size of the code I have too see whether I need the large memory model.  I am currently using a msp4305438 with the large memory model, I just want to be able to see how much memory the code is taking up and how it is allocated in the build or output files.

Thank you for any help.

Chris

    Hi Chris,

    when you build, CCS will generate a .map file in your project folders.  This map file has the on device code size - near the end, as well as the details of the memory usage and map.

    Please let us know if this helps.

    Best Regards,
    Lisa

    TI,

    The .map file has been very helpful in illustrating the organization of the memory, but I am still having a hard time seeing where the on device code size area is.  The code is quite large and I am sure I am just getting lost in all the information.

    Thanks,

    Chris

    Hi Christopher,

    what exactly are you still struggling to understand?  The linker command file (.cmd in your project)  for your MSP will show you how the segments are defined and where they are.  The datasheet will show you how the device memory in general is organized.  Another good place to get a view of the memory is from the free flash tool from Elprotronic (www.elprotronic.com).

    We also have these tools and parsers (which may be a bit much for what you need) ...

    Please just let me know and hopefully we can help clear things up for you.

    Best Regards,
