Hi,

Just a quick question, how can I increase the heap size for my program? I am getting a malloc() error and would like to see if this fixes it.

Thanks for the help.

Hi Ryan,
Which compiler are you using? TI or GCC?

Thanks

Hi Ki,

I am using TI compiler, not gcc.

For TI build tools, you can set the heap size in the linker options of the project properties:

Okay great thanks, and how can I see what my heap currently is/how much of it I am using?

Are you using TI-RTOS? I believe there is a way to check the available heap using one of the tools for TI-RTOS.

Actually, if you are indeed using TI-RTOS, you can set the heap size in the TI-RTOS cfg file.
