Size of RAM needed to store NiosII code

Thanks for the replies.

I'm still rather confuse with different elf file size reported in various places.

When I use the command line: nios2-elf-size test_sram.elf

Result: 29228Bytes = 29KB
text    data    bss   dec      hex     filename    
21764   6728    736   29228    722c    test_sram.elf

When I checked the file size of the .elf file using window explorer

--- Quote Start ---

Result: 257KB

--- Quote End ---

Which should I refer to while estimating the size of the SRAM for this current application?

Regarding the stack and heap, I tried:nios2-stackreport

Result:

--- Quote Start ---

Info: (test_sram.elf) 28 KBytes program size (code + initialized data)

Info: 4060 Bytes free for stack + heap.

--- Quote End ---

Does this mean that I need an SRAM with minimum size of =

(4060KBytes + (size of elf which i'm still confused with) ) ?

The code I'm trying with contains merely a printf of a Hello World, isnt 4MBytes a little too much for that?
