Hi,

I want to test my code in a PGA90X. When I compile the code the compiler creates a 4KB large file. I know the development ram has a size of 1KB. Does it work when I load the 4KB large file in dev ram or is there a special step necessary?

thx

The size of the .out file created by the compiler is not representative of the size of the image that will be loaded onto the device. The .out file contains all of the debug symbols required for the debugger.

If the linker command file is setup correctly you should get a build error if your program exceeds the size of available memory.

John

Hi,

I've got an additional question. Is there a way to see the real size of my code?

Mario,

You can try the Memory Allocation view. It is available from the View menu. It will show you the breakdown of how memory is allocated. I have not tried this on PGA900 but as long as the detailed map file is being generated by the build it should work fine.

John
