Hi Svilen,

> Apologies, if I am becoming a nuisance to you guys
no need for apologies, this list was made for questions.

@Paco:> Your problem might be related to the way you connect the UART on
the waspmote.

But this won't explain why hello-world and default work, right?

I assume it is memory overflow which is (for whatever reason) not
detected during the build process. The waspmote has 8K RAM AFAIK but the
gcc output you posted indicates higher RAM consumption. You better go
with gnrc_minimal then.

>  Do you think that I will successfully be able to run the
gnrc_networking application on any of the above-mentioned boards?

No. We do not support these boards: "If your device can run Linux, run
Linux".

Why don't you go with an STM32-Nucleo board at first? These boards are
widely available and cheap. For communication you could add external
interfaces later such as 802.15.4, LoRa, Ethernet ....

Best
Peter
