Setting heap size limit

Hi,

I'm working on a system with NIOS II processor on Stratix 2GX FPGA. Can someone please explain in steps how to limit the heap size?

The Nios II SW Developer's handbook says that setting the pre-processor setting DALT_MAX_HEAP_SIZE=xxxxx where xxxxx is the decimal value of memory will limit the heap size. It asks to refer a different section to find out how to set BSP settings. I'm developing on NIOS II Studio ver 9.0 sp2 and I've checked all options on BSP properties.

Any help will be much appreciated.

Regards,

Praveen
