OSA : Memory usage

These tables allow you to predict average ROM and RAM usage so that you can choose an appropriate microcontroller for your project.

min, ROM/RAM normal, ROM/RAM full, ROM/RAM Bytes per task*, RAM

* - see Note 4 below

Test modes:

  1. min (minimal services set)
    • priorities are OFF
    • allowed: binary semaphores, flags, messages
  2. normal (most usual services set)
    • priorities are ON
    • task timers are enabled
    • allowed: binary semaphores, flags, messages
    • waiting with exit on timeout services are enabled
  3. full (full services set, except user timers)
    • priorities are ON
    • task timers are enabled
    • allowed: binary semaphores, counting semaphores, flags, messages, queues
    • waiting with exit on timeout services are enabled
    • critical sections enabled

(All modes support services for switching context, waiting for events, controlling tasks, enabling/disabling interrupts)

Notes:

  1. ROM results:
    • size of ROM shown in machine words for PIC10, PIC12 and PIC16 and in bytes for other;
    • for MCC18 initialization code is included;
    • for MCC30 initialization code is included;
  2. all test were compiled with maximum optimization;
  3. in addition OSA requares RAM for task deskriptors;
  4. there is a base size of descriptor in table. It can be greater if:
  5. memory usage can be reduced by disabling priority and by using one byte timers (see OSAcfg.h).
