    malloc() allocates in .heap, so check in BSP properties where the .heap is placed. The size of allocated space is determined in malloc() function parameters.

    Yes i know malloc() will allocate memory in heap. Sorry, i did not make it clear. what i was asking is that, how can i use other command to allocate memory in non heap location.
