Description

Function Documentation

void pi_fc_l1_free	(	void *	chunk,
		int	size
	)

Parameters

chunk	Chunk to be freed.
size	Size in bytes of the memory to be freed.

void* pi_fc_l1_malloc

(

int

size

)

The allocated memory is 4-bytes aligned. The caller has to provide back the size of the allocated chunk when freeing it. This will allocate in the closest memory for the FC, which can vary depending on the chip. Check the chip-specific section for more information.

Parameters

size	Size in bytes of the memory to be allocated.

Returns

The allocated chunk or NULL if there was not enough memory available.

void* pi_fc_l1_malloc_align	(	int	size,
		int	align
	)

The allocated memory is aligned on the specified number of bytes. The caller has to provide back the size of the allocated chunk when freeing it.

Parameters

size	Size in bytes of the memory to be allocated.
align	Alignment in bytes.

Returns

The allocated chunk or NULL if there was not enough memory available.

void pi_fc_l1_malloc_dump

(

void

)

This function can be used to display free blocks available from the FC allocator.
