Thank you very much Downy!!, i folow your advice, after reading the documentation, my first idea is change the original FREERTOS function "_init_startup", then i will change the CRT0.x and the last inster the script for linker. I dont know how is the script reference by the linker, because the documentation do not say anything.

If i have problem i will write in this post again.

Regards
Oscar

yep. There is a nice application note by Atmel on that matter that explain well what to do. Get the .zip file from their website too, with all the files.

Advices:

1- If you don't want to mess with the FREERTOS function "_init_startup", just rename it and define yours in your main.c.

2- If you are using C++ (main.cpp), you need the "extern "C" {} englobing your own "init_startup" function.

That's about it. The application note takes care of everything else.

The application note:

Some AVRFreaks thread on the matter.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate, I've just done it hehe :)

Hello, i think i ´ll move the heap and data to SDRAM. I read the application note, but i don´t know exactly that files create or edit because i have lwip and freeRTOS.

My first idea is to do:

a) edit the crt0.x of the project
b) edit init_startup function in the port directory of FREERTOS
c) Add de link_... .lds  to the project
d)  change the option of linker

Do you follow this step?
Thanks

Hello one question, if i defined one buffer very big, is necesary to increase alot the stack of the task. My memory is 64k too and i have FreeRTOS and lwip. I need to create a buffer of 20000bytes.

Do you think i have enough memory or i need to move all memory to SDRAM?

thanks

great, thanks!

I tried many things, but not this one.

Also, I want to point out that in the meantime, I decided to move my heap to my SDRAM instead of the 64k SRAM on the AVR32UC3. Now I have enough space to create all my tasks without problem, even with bigger stack sizes.

Thanks Bill, good idea. 

I'm still trying to figure out how to generate the MAP file with AVRStudio 2.1...

Check you MAP file and find out where RAM has been allocated.  It’s easy to allocate too many PBUF_POOLs and run out of memory that way.

Subject: [lwip-users] LWIP size

 

Hi,

 

I would like to know what is the expected (approx.) size of the lwip stack. I use sequential configuration. My problem is that on my AVR32, I only have 64kbytes of SRAM and for some reasons, it is full. I'm trying to run my application using FreeRTOS and lwip. When I create tasks, my last one always fail on the malloc.

 

So, I'm assuming that FreeRTOS and lwip take a significant amount of space on my AVR32 in SRAM because my tasks have those sizes (presented in order of creation):

 

1- lwip Main task:                        512

2- Startup task (my own):            512

3- FreeRTOS Scheduler:             256

4- Ethernet task (my own):          512

5- Ethif (lwip):                             256

6- Diags task (my own):              512

 

The last one is the one that fails. So, out of 64kbytes, my tasks take much less memory. I another project not using lwip, I was able to create 3 tasks of 1024,  4096 and 4096 of size. So, I presume lwip takes a significant amount of space.

 

If yes, how could I tweak the config to reduce the size taken?

 

Best regards,

DownyTif.
