Hello everyone,
I am using NUCLEO-F410RB Board embedding STM32F410RBTx Device and I was trying to port the FreeRTOS bare minimum(kernel w/o CMSIS) api here and it is throwing me an error when I create a bare minimum task(no global variables or arrays in the main either.)
Note: It is building properly when I am not using the FreeRTOS Apis.
The Linker file .ld says that the chip has this much Memory
/* Memories definition */
MEMORY
{
RAM (xrw) : ORIGIN = 0x20000000, LENGTH = 32K
FLASH (rx) : ORIGIN = 0x8000000, LENGTH = 128K

Any thoughts on what is missing over here?

Use the Build Analyzer -> Memory Details tab to find what is using all the space.
2024-08-10 07:23 PM
Thank you so much for the response.
This is the Build analyzer w/o calling FreeRTOS tasks, but when I add tasks in to main.c, the code is not even compiling, so I am unable to analyze how much space is occupied.
@TDK Can we use Build analyzer with out actual elf or executable?
2024-08-10 07:54 PM
I think you need an ELF to analyze.
Edit the linker file to increase the size of the ram, then compile it, then see what's taking up so much space.

Hey!! @TDK
Actually heap_4 was taking so much memory in my 32KB system that I ha to limit the heap to minimal size.
I modified the FreeRTOSConfig.h and it is compiling now for gods sake!!

32 KB is too little for the RTOS. Maybe just to try how it works at all or something very simple. Get at least 128K.
(consider the interrupt stack and the application data & buffers ...)

@Pavel A. Thank you for the information.Yes, that is the plan now!
