Error: No room left in memory section, Image is too large for defined regions

When I build my Windows CE image in PB, I get following error.

 

Error: Ram start overlaps rom binary

Error: No room left in memory section, Image is too large for defined regions.

Rom end  : 0×8e59d9b0

Ram start: 0×8e229000

NK

physfirst 8c200000

physlast  8e59d9b0

ulRAMFree 8e229000

Fatal error hit, exiting…

 

Problem

 : This is because your NK.bin image size bigger than the size

defined in config.bib.

 

Resolutions

 

1)    Decrease your image size by removing components take

a lot of space, then user need to Re-Sysgen the platform.

2)    Increase your image size defined by changing values in config.bib.

For example, my original NK size is 32Mbyte

so in config.bib 32Mbyte is defined like following example.

 

           Start address  size

 NK             8C200000    02000000(32Mbyte) RAMIMAGE

RAM          8E200000    01800000          RAM

 

    Increase size image 32Mb to 38Mb so that user need to change RAM’s start address value and size.

 

Start address       size

 NK             8C200000             02600000(38Mbyte)RAMIMAGE

RAM          8E800000(+600000) 01200000(-600000)RAM

 

  Finally, change ROM start, width, size values in config.bib

 

ROMSTART=8C200000     

ROMWIDTH=32     

ROMSIZE=02600000

OTHER answers

You can find the config.bib in the FILES folder of you BSP:


One part of this config.bib (MEMORY section) is used to specify your
memory sections, which also includes the sizes of these regions.

you need to adjust the
NK      xxxxxxxx    xxxxxxxx RAMIMAGE
RAM     xxxxxxxx    xxxxxxxx    RAM

setting to fit your total RAM sizes.

If you take a look at the supplied BSP's for the X86 processor different
variables are used for different RAM sizes (IMGRAM16, IMGRAM512 etc...).

and a link (of course):

And then copy the config.bib to the _FLATRELEASEDIR before running makeimg.

browsing to /PLATFORM/BSP/FILES, copying config.bib, browsing to
your FLATRELEASEDIR, pasting config.bib, switching back to PB and makeimg
