available RAM and stack?

[Jerry Messina]

Other than the device files, what determines the amount of available RAM?

When I compile using the default setup, I'm about 2K short of the max size,
which seems to be where the stack is being set (8192-6144=2048).

Is there any control over the stack size/where it's located, or is there something else going on here?

Code: Select all

device = 24HJ128GP502      ' default FW device (8K)

dim b(6144) as byte      ' max allowable data size

that doesn't look right, let me check it out...

I've uploaded a BETA which can be found at the bottom of this page

this should hopefully fix the stack allocation problem. Please let me know if the fix works for you...

Thanks. That seems to work.

Using FW toolsuite I can now get 8192 bytes for the 24HJ128GP502 (less 64 bytes for the stack)

FWIW, using the Microchip16 toolsuite (actually C30) I can get 24512 for the 24FJ128DA110, but only about 28600 for the 24EP512GU810 (52k). I haven't bothered to look into what's conflicting w/the 24EP, but I wasn't expecting to get access to the full ram anyway.
