Hi

The malloc()/free() functions are form the C library which is a part of the IAR environment.

You need to specify how much memory is to be reserved for this memory management area by setting it in the linker script file (*.icf in newest IAR versions):


/* library heap size - if required */
define symbol __size_heap__     = 0x0;  <-- modify this to suit the project
