Re: NK.BIN size and Ram Usage.

Hi Bruce,

Sorry I left out that piece. Here is the information reported by the Remote
System Information tool for the memory component:
Memory Load 92%
Total Physical Memory 6496 KB
Available Physical Memory 576 KB
Page File Size 0 KB
Available Page File Size 0 KB
Total Virtual Memory 32768 KB
Available Virtual Memory 25472 KB
Store Pages 1623
RAM Pages 1624
Page Size 4096 bytes

Please let me know if you need any other information.

Thanks,
Chris

So how much RAM do you have a run time? You didn't tell us that.

Hi All,

I've created an OS Image that results in an NK.BIN image that's around
14Mb.
My platform has 32Mb of SDRAM installed on it. According to the
Config.bib
file I'm using (see below), 2 Mb should be reserved for a Frame Buffer, 2
Mb
should be reserved for USBDMA usage, and the remaining should get shared
between the RAMIMAGE and RAM sections when AUTOSIZE=ON.

Given this setup, I would expect to see somewhere around 14 Mb of ram
available for applications and data. (32Mb - 2Mb - 2Mb - 14Mb = 14Mb).
However, after my OS Boots, and I run the Remote System Information tool
that
comes with Embedded Visual C++ 4.0, it reports that I'm at 92% Ram
utilization with only 568KB Available Physical Memory. Where did all my
RAM
go?

Below are the current settings in my Config.bib that apply:
