CC2541 Osal_Mem_Alloc Failing

Vicente Arnau

Hi,

Something weird is happening with the firmware I'm developing.

I have some buffers allocated dinamically. All of them has 8Bytes or multiple size. The problem comes when I try to allocate some buffer that is not multiple of 8.

Osal_Mem_Alloc returns NULL.

Is this weird or it should be like this? How is it possible? I can not allocate a 17 uint8 array?

Just for the record. I havent filled up the memory. I check with the osal_memheap function...

Cheers!

Solved it:

When memory is doing some weird stuff or your code stops without any sense.

If you mess with memory at some point: Your code runs or write outside the bounds of a buffer.

Hope it helps someone!

Glad to see you figured it out!
Also, enabling OSALMEM_METRICS can help.

Best wishes
