On a recent project (the first with eCos) we discovered a default option in eCos that results in a memory leak. Perhaps it is related to your crash. Under Infrastructure, there is an option for 'Provide empty C++ delete functions'. Make sure it is turned off. It enabled, all calls to delete/free do not actually free any memory. See for a discussion see 'http://sources.redhat.com/ml/ecos-discuss/2002-09/msg00000.html'. Also, you can use the mallinfo method to periodically dump out heap information in case you have a real leak. I also always set breakpoints at various 'asserts' methods in eCos in order to be able to look back up the stack for a crash cause. Hope this helps. - Chip Boling -----Original Message----- From: ecos-discuss-owner@ecos.sourceware.org [mailto:ecos-discuss-owner@ecos.sourceware.org] On Behalf Of Vinayagam Sent: Friday, October 29, 2004 2:44 AM To: ecos-discuss@sources.redhat.com Subject: [ECOS] System Crash after some hours. Hi, I am doing porting eCos to an Intel XScale PXA-255 based board used for Audio/Video Streaming Application. We have problem in long run test. The problem is that eCos 2.0 started to crash our system, sometimes after some ours. This is a serious issue as far as our system concerned. We have tried with GCC 3.2.1 & GCC 3.2.2 but the problem still exist in our system. I am hanging around this issue past two weeks. Any ideas what might be the problem? Thanks in Advance.
