GOAL - Memory Footprint

GOAL - Memory Footprint

This page gives you an brief overview about general topics regarding GOAL and compatible platforms.

Memory Footprint of Applications

This chapter gives an overview about the needed memory of several applications based on GOAL version 2.26.0. The footprints are determined using the supported Platforms STM32 with an external KSZ Switch, the NXP RT1180 and the Renesas RZ/N1S.

Using STM32

For the Platform STM32H723 with the external Switch, the GOAL applications were built with the needed Hardware Abstraction Layer provided by ST. Afterwards, the application were built without GOAL to determine the exact space needed by these HAL to give exact information about the pure GOAL footprint. These application were built without logging (except those with \*) and without optimization.

Using NXP RT1180

The platform NXP RT1180 uses a complex memory layout with fragmented RAM and FLASH areas with different speeds to guarantee best performances. These areas are defined following:

Memory Area

Type

Memory Area

Type

  • m_data

  • m_ncache

  • m_heap

  • m_data2

  • m_data3

  • m_qacode

RAM

  • m_text

  • m_flash_config

  • m_ivt

  • m_interrupts

FLASH

The GOAL static heap is located at the area m_data3 and allocs memory during startup of the application. Is it designed to leave some additional space for further application development. GOAL does not use all of this space now.

The following sizes are determined by building the application with enabled optimization -O2 and without logging to ensure best performance. GOAL uses FreeRTOS and the FLASH for this platform. The BSP of the RT1180 is included in these sizes.

\* built with logging

Using Renesas RZ/N1S

For the Platform RZ/N1S Evaluation Board, the GOAL applications were built using the IAR Embedded Workbench for Arm, version 8.50 with the needed Board Support Package provided by Renesas. These application were built with optimization (similiar -O2), without logging (except those with \*).

The GOAL static heap is located at the RAM and allocs memory during startup of the application. Is it designed to leave some additional space for further application development. GOAL does not use all of this space now.
