- Subject: [ECOS] dynamic allocation of memory during driver initialization?
How should a driver dynamically allocate buffer space during
initialization? The driver doesn't know how many channels are
present in the HW until runtime, and needs to allocate input
and output buffers for channels only if they're present.
I've found one comment that malloc() can't be used during
driver init, so how is this situation typically handled?
