memory.....

Post by reder »

I have a problem .... I can not upload anything anymore ....
I have a 256 MB SDRAM.
I don't understand why the system info I wrote:
SAMPLE - 256 MB (92%) Free
USER - 1 MB (2.0%) Free

Am I using only the internal memory of the Fantom G?
If yes ... how can I use the memory sdram of 256 MB ?

Thank's....

The 256 meg ram you have is whats called volatile...basically this means that it only stores information when powered up. You turn it off it's all gone. Now with that in mind you only have 30 meg of internal non-volatile memory that you are trying to save to... obviously 256 meg aint gonna fit into 30 meg to save.

The answer is to make your project on a usb stick then work from there. This will give you the size of your stick to save to and you won't be limited by the 30 meg restriction, you will be limited to the amount you can load into your ram at once (in your case about 256 meg)
