Hi,
working with nRF52840 with S140 v7.2.0, not sure about SDK version. VS Code + ARM GCC + LD Gold linker.
I changed stack and heap sizes via __HEAP_SIZE and __STACK_SIZE defines. Change is confirmed by .map file, but RAM usage(reported by linker flag --print-memory-usage) is not affected.
No matter what size I set to defines, RAM usage reported by linker stays the same.
How to fix this?
I think by default head and stack are defined as COPY sections and not the NOLOAD (modules/nrfx/mdk/nrf_common.ld: line 137) , COPY sections are not included in the print mem usage option.
if you want --print-memory-usage to include heap and stack aswell then you need to change the linker script to NOLOAD , prestine build and check if that works.
