 Is there a way to allocate a huge buffer (80KB) on NRF 9160 setup? 
 I have NRF 9160 connected to BT840X over UART. 
 I want to upgrade the BT840X FW from the NRF 9160 over the UART so I need to get and store the BT840X FW during this process</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Thu, 26 Nov 2020 12:43:12 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/68671/how-can-i-allocate-a-huge-buffer-80kb-from-the-heap-on-nrf-9160-setup" /><item><title>RE: How can I allocate a huge buffer  (80KB) from the heap on NRF 9160 setup?</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/282058?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 26 Nov 2020 12:43:12 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:2e7b12c2-9c1e-4dd2-b569-f8dc742738fc</guid><dc:creator>Heidi</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Your update was exactly what I was going to suggest. Use the &lt;a href="https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/latest/nrf/applications/nrf_desktop/doc/dfu.html"&gt;DFU module&lt;/a&gt; in NCS to store the new FW image in the flash memory partition.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Not sure what you mean by &amp;quot;&lt;span&gt;the flash memory area of&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;image_1&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;(reserved for secured image)&amp;quot;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Best regards,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Heidi&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: How can I allocate a huge buffer  (80KB) from the heap on NRF 9160 setup?</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/281531?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 24 Nov 2020 12:00:34 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:2734c768-3651-4ac3-af51-0494f9d81dc8</guid><dc:creator>Rafalino</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Update -&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As I am running in Non-Secure mode, I am thinking of using the flash memory area of &lt;strong&gt;image_1&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;(reserved for secured image)&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;on&lt;strong&gt; NRF9160,&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;to store the image of the&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;BT840X.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Is there something that I am missing in this approach ?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
