[FreeRTOS Home] [Live FreeRTOS Forum] [FAQ] [Archive Top] [March 2008 Threads] FreeRTOS 18F452 PortPosted by Debraj Deb on March 4, 2008 Hi,
I was trying out the port for 18F452 (MPLAB).
The code building works fine and the entire code fits in the Flash memory. I get the following info in "map" file: - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Program Memory Usage Start End --------- --------- 0x000000 0x000005 0x000008 0x000025 0x00003a 0x0043be 17321 out of 33048 program addresses used, program memory utilization is 52% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
But my final application is on 18F4520 (successor to 18F452). Hence I changed the device and linker script to 18F4520. But then, I get the following linker error: - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MPLINK 4.15, Linker Copyright (c) 2007 Microchip Technology Inc. Error - section '.udata_heap_1.o' can not fit the section. Section '.udata_heap_1.o' length=0x00000404 Errors : 1 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I think, the error means that the code for "heap_1.c" is too big to be fitted in the memory. Why is this error? I know that the memory of 18F4520 >= memory of 18F452.
I also noticed that even if I revert the device and linker script back to 18F452 (same as original), the same linker error appears. Why is that?
Best regards.
RE: FreeRTOS 18F452 PortPosted by PICmeup on March 4, 2008 The freertos heap in heap_1.c is defined as one big array so is to big to fit in a small memory block as defined in the MPLAB linker scripts. Look at the 18f452.lkr file in the pic18_mplab folder to see a mod to create one large bit of RAM called BIG_BLOCK. This is the 18f452.lkr file in the pic18_mplab folder of freertos not the file in the mplab folder.
