[ECOS] Fwd: eCos memory requirement--please see this

[Jürgen Lambrecht]

Be ware that jffs2 needs a lot of RAM, depending on the size of your flash
of course. Per node in use, it needs 16B (static) or 24B (dynamic). And
the maximum node size is 4KB. (static means static allocation of the
maximum number of nodes).
For my flash of 64MB, I need 254KB of RAM (static)

For ARM, I use

"The size of the heap is not show here."

And also:
arm-elf-objdump -x applic.elf | less (also '| grep .bss' is often usefull
(bss is non-initialized data))

Kind Regards,
Juergen
