  • [ABANDONED] STM32L496VGT incorrect RAM size in Segger tools (Flasher and Ozone)

    I'm using an STM32L496VGT in a design and ST is telling me the RAM size is 320k, but the Segger tools indicate this is only 96k. Can someone help confirm where the 96k number is coming from? Thanks.
  • Hi,


    the SEGGER tools show the size of the work RAM J-Link is aware of and will use.
    It does not necessary indicate the actual amount of RAM available on a device.

    Best regards,

  • Hi Niklas,

    Thanks for the reply. with most of the other controllers in the family the J-Link supports the 320k size. Do you know if Segger will be updating that in the next software release? And if so, do you know what that release schedule looks like?

    Thanks,

    Jon
  • Hello Jon,

    Niklas is currently not available so i will try to answer your question.

    It does not necessary indicate the actual amount of RAM available on a device.

    What Niklas wanted to say with this is that any J-Link will support any RAM that exists.
    The number that is shown in our tools is just the "guaranteed" RAM for our tools that will be initialized and usable.
    Some chips need extra initialization for other RAM segments, that is why we stick to the "always available" RAM.

    But any other memory type that is correctly used and initialized by the user will be read- and writeable by J-Link.
    So if there are 320k RAM and it is initialized, you can use it.

    Best regards,
    Nino
