How can I change the heap to flash instead of RAM in segger

[ps_anu]

Hi. 

I am working on nRF52832. I want to store a structure with 492kb I am getting heap is too large error. So how can I tell the complier to store my variable in flash instead of RAM by changing the settings in segger  please let me kindly

In your makefile add on these compiler flag(ex:4K heap & stack):

CFLAGS += -D__HEAP_SIZE=4096
CFLAGS += -D__STACK_SIZE=4096
ASMFLAGS += -D__HEAP_SIZE=4096
ASMFLAGS += -D__STACK_SIZE=4096

Where can I find the makefile kindly guide me. 

Thanks &Regards

gcc with make file.....

SES you may check your project file *.emProject confiuration

Here.....

arm_linker_heap_size="4096"
arm_linker_process_stack_size="0"
arm_linker_stack_size="4096"

Yes I changed same error

What's kind of error? You may attach your error message.....If it's the memory allocated problem, you have to free memory. And I doubt that the nRF52832 allocated the memory with 492kB? How do you think the memory space could be larger than 64KB?

I am getting the .bss is too large to fit in RAM memory . After I am changing the heap size and stack size in makefile . Even i am sharing my code too . please have a look

ble_app_uart (3).zip

Sorry for slow download. I had checked your heap & stack size 8192. I think that it's working in your zip package. And the map file is no error. Are you fixed your problems?

struct sensor_data
{
char timestamp[41];
int sensor_value;
};

struct sensor_data sensordata_array[12000];

Why do you need so large memory?

Can you use the malloc() function and release memory with free() ,if the structure is processed..

Or use the spi nor-flash interface to storage the data .if it real need to keep. 

[ps_anu]

no I am getting the error while compiling , .bss is too large to fit in RAM memory and .heap stack overflows stack . you didn't get this 

[Henry_Chou]

ok....Because it's the resource problems. You have to reduce the memory size first. The NRF52832 RAM size is only 64K Bytes.
