Honored ContributorWhen I try to run my application I get "memory exhausted" message. I have passed "mem = 32M" as kernel parameter to increase the ram allocation to kernel to 32 MB. But it still doesn't work.
Honored ContributorYou don't need to give "mem=xxx" to kernel. The nios2 arch setup.c will use all sdram.
Please check available memory before your application, with "free" or "cat /proc/meminfo". You should also check memory required by your application. The error may also come from corrupted memory.Honored ContributorHippo,
My application uses non padded buffers of total size 2 MB. I have 32 MB RAM on baord and when i use free i see about 25 MB if free. My application works fine when i use non padded buffers but when i try to run the same with padded buffers it gives me "Memory Exhausted" error. When i say buffer i am referring to structures. What could be the problem?Honored ContributorI don't understand your problem about padding.
One important difference between RISC and x86 is that RISC can not access unaligned word. eg, read 32 bits word from address 4 is OK, but read 32 bits word from address 5,6,7 is wrong. so you may need to 4 read bytes from address 9, and shifted to make a 32 bit word. This applies when you read or write a unaligned member in a structure.Honored ContributorHello hippo ,
I've read this post. And even when it is a little old, I have the same problem. You mentioned something about corrupted memory. Is there a way to read from the memory or verify that it is not corrupted? I'm getting the same memory exhausted message. Regards, Francisco
