cc2530 calculating stack and heap sizes

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: Z-STACK

Hello,

I am trying to understand how I could properly profile my application to see the stack and heap usage for my program. I have looked through the option but I don't see any setting for profiling.

Could someone let me know how to do this

IAR will generate a map file after you build the application. You can have a look to this map file.

Hi Desmond,

Z-Stack doesn't support stack profiling. For heap monitoring, you can use the functions including osal_heap_block_max(), osal_heap_block_cnt(), osal_heap_block_free(), and osal_heap_mem_used() if you set OSALMEM_METRICS in the compiler option. You will find several posts regarding those functions if you search this forum.

Hey Cetri,

I will take a look at that. But is there a profiling options as similar to what gcc provides?

Hi Desmond,

I think IAR's stack tracking feature might be useful to you. To enable it, go to Tools->Options->Stack and check 'Enable graphical stack display and stack usage tracking'. For more details, please contact IAR.
