Memory Map Analyzer
Principle
When the Executable of an Application is built, a Memory Map file is generated. This file can be visualized with the Memory Map Analyzer, an Eclipse IDE plug-in. It displays the memory consumption of different features in the RAM and ROM.
Use
When the Executable file of an Application has been produced,
the Memory Map file is available at build/executable/application/SOAR.map
.
You can visualize it by following these steps:
Make sure the Eclipse IDE is installed with the required plugin, then launch it.
Click on File > Open File….
Select the Memory Map file.
You can select an item (or several) to show the memory used by this item(s) on the right,
or select All
to show the memory used by all items.
This special item performs the same action as selecting all items in the list.
You can also select an item in the list, and expand it to see all symbols used by the item. This view is useful in understanding why a symbol is embedded.
