Thanks for your answer, in my program i allocate memory to create in each mote
a buffer-chain (i use structures that allocate memory dynamically). But i don't
know exactly how much dynamic memory i can use in Micaz motes.
For example, if after compiling i use 1419 bytes in RAM and 19748 bytes in ROM,
is the rest used for dynamic allocation?
i don't understand this passage about exactly how much memory i can use
dynamically..for me understanding would be really important.
Thanks for your availability,
Cheers
Daniele

Well there's 128K of PROM and 4K of RAM in the ATMEGA 128
and I believe it is all available. At the end of the TOS
compile you get a line that says how much your program is
using. If you are not doing any kind of dynamic allocation
this should be the maximum used. Perhaps you have a pointer
or something that is running amuck in a way that you don't
see in simulation.
I think using FLASH is rather slow and the number of MTBF
cycles is not conducive to temporary storage.

definitely a memory problem. But i think not to use so much memory and i free,
when i can, the used structures. Remember i need a buffer chain in each node
cause i store incoming packets and then i create new coded packets from these
buffers.
