I'm working with an STM32F401RC which should have 256kB flash, and 64kB RAM. However I seem to be running into memory issues well below that limit.
In my code I'm declaring 9 total float arrays of size 2x700 which should take up 9*2*700*4B = 50kB.
float32_t cosSinHammF0[2][700]; //Index 0 for cos, 1 for sin
float32_t cosSinHammF1[2][700]; //Index 0 for cos, 1 for sin
float32_t cosSinHammF2[2][700]; //Index 0 for cos, 1 for sin
float32_t cosSinHammF3[2][700]; //Index 0 for cos, 1 for sin
float32_t cosSinHammF4[2][700]; //Index 0 for cos, 1 for sin
float32_t cosSinHammF5[2][700]; //Index 0 for cos, 1 for sin
float32_t cosSinHammF6[2][700]; //Index 0 for cos, 1 for sin
float32_t cosSinHammF7[2][700]; //Index 0 for cos, 1 for sin
float32_t cosSinHammF8[2][700]; //Index 0 for cos, 1 for sin
Compiling gives following errors:
.\Targets\STM32F401_Discovery\project.axf: Error: L6406E: No space in execution regions with .ANY selector matching usart.o(.data).
.\Targets\STM32F401_Discovery\project.axf: Error: L6407E: Sections of aggregate size 0x18c64 bytes could not fit into .ANY selector(s).
Not enough information to list image symbols.
Not enough information to list the image map.
Finished: 2 information, 0 warning and 17 error messages.
''.\Targets\STM32F401_Discovery\project.axf'' - 17 Error(s), 1 Warning(s).
Looks it can't find space for 0x18c64 bytes (~100kB).
In my target settings, I have set ROM start [size] to0x8000000 [0x40000], or ~256kB
RAM set to0x2000000 [0x10000], or 64KB
Anyone know what is going on? When I change my float arrays to 2x100, it compiles successfully with the following numbers:
Program Size: Code=26204 RO-data=1284 RW-data=172 ZI-data=58108
Which also doesn't make sense because those numbers don;t add up to 256k?
Please help!
