SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires arm-none-eabi-size, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides comprehensive memory analysis for firmware, allowing users to understand and optimize memory usage, identify large symbols, and compare memory usage between builds.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Firmware Memory Analysis: Analyze .map files or ELF files to generate memory usage reports, symbol size rankings, and version comparisons.
  • Symbol Size Ranking: Identify the largest symbols in the firmware to optimize memory usage.
  • Version Comparison: Compare memory usage between different builds to track code bloat and memory changes.
  • Use Case: After building a firmware, use this Skill to analyze the memory usage and identify any issues that could lead to memory overflow.

Quick Start

Analyze the memory usage of a firmware by providing the path to the .map file with the command 'memory-analysis --map-file path/to/mapfile.map'.

FAQPage Schema
How do I analyze firmware memory usage from a map file?

Firmware memory analysis parses .map files using a Python memory analyzer script to generate comprehensive usage reports and symbol size rankings. You simply provide the file path to execute the parsing and reporting process.

How can I find the largest symbols in my firmware build?

Finding the largest symbols in a firmware build requires parsing ELF or .map files to generate a symbol size ranking. This process identifies the largest memory consumers to target code optimization efforts effectively.

What is the best way to compare firmware memory usage between builds?

Comparing firmware memory usage between builds involves parsing .map or ELF files across different versions to track code bloat and memory changes. This version comparison highlights memory deltas to prevent potential overflows.

Do I need arm-none-eabi-size to analyze ELF files for memory usage?

Yes, analyzing ELF files for memory usage requires the arm-none-eabi-size tool as a dependency. The Python memory analyzer script handles .map file parsing independently, but ELF analysis specifically depends on this tool.

Can I identify firmware memory overflow issues by analyzing map files?

Yes, you can identify potential memory overflow issues by analyzing .map files to generate detailed memory usage reports. Identifying large symbols and tracking usage across builds helps detect issues leading to overflow.
