# Common (non-chip-specific) SPIRAM options # # sourced into the "SPIRAM config" submenu for ESP32 or ESP32S2 # invisible option selected by ESP32_SPIRAM_SUPPORT || ESP32S2_SPIRAM_SUPPORT config SPIRAM bool config SPIRAM_BOOT_INIT bool "Initialize SPI RAM during startup" default "y" help If this is enabled, the SPI RAM will be enabled during initial boot. Unless you have specific requirements, you'll want to leave this enabled so memory allocated during boot-up can also be placed in SPI RAM. config SPIRAM_IGNORE_NOTFOUND bool "Ignore PSRAM when not found" default "n" depends on SPIRAM_BOOT_INIT && !SPIRAM_ALLOW_BSS_SEG_EXTERNAL_MEMORY help Normally, if psram initialization is enabled during compile time but not found at runtime, it is seen as an error making the CPU panic. If this is enabled, booting will complete but no PSRAM will be available. choice SPIRAM_USE prompt "SPI RAM access method" default SPIRAM_USE_MALLOC help The SPI RAM can be accessed in multiple methods: by just having it available as an unmanaged memory region in the CPU's memory map, by integrating it in the heap as 'special' memory needing heap_caps_malloc to allocate, or by fully integrating it making malloc() also able to return SPI RAM pointers. config SPIRAM_USE_MEMMAP bool "Integrate RAM into memory map" config SPIRAM_USE_CAPS_ALLOC bool "Make RAM allocatable using heap_caps_malloc(..., MALLOC_CAP_SPIRAM)" config SPIRAM_USE_MALLOC bool "Make RAM allocatable using malloc() as well" select FREERTOS_SUPPORT_STATIC_ALLOCATION endchoice config SPIRAM_MEMTEST bool "Run memory test on SPI RAM initialization" default "y" depends on SPIRAM_BOOT_INIT help Runs a rudimentary memory test on initialization. Aborts when memory test fails. Disable this for slightly faster startup. config SPIRAM_MALLOC_ALWAYSINTERNAL int "Maximum malloc() size, in bytes, to always put in internal memory" depends on SPIRAM_USE_MALLOC default 16384 range 0 131072 help If malloc() is capable of also allocating SPI-connected ram, its allocation strategy will prefer to allocate chunks less than this size in internal memory, while allocations larger than this will be done from external RAM. If allocation from the preferred region fails, an attempt is made to allocate from the non-preferred region instead, so malloc() will not suddenly fail when either internal or external memory is full. config SPIRAM_TRY_ALLOCATE_WIFI_LWIP bool "Try to allocate memories of WiFi and LWIP in SPIRAM firstly. If failed, allocate internal memory" depends on SPIRAM_USE_CAPS_ALLOC || SPIRAM_USE_MALLOC default "n" help Try to allocate memories of WiFi and LWIP in SPIRAM firstly. If failed, try to allocate internal memory then. config SPIRAM_MALLOC_RESERVE_INTERNAL int "Reserve this amount of bytes for data that specifically needs to be in DMA or internal memory" depends on SPIRAM_USE_MALLOC default 32768 range 0 262144 help Because the external/internal RAM allocation strategy is not always perfect, it sometimes may happen that the internal memory is entirely filled up. This causes allocations that are specifically done in internal memory, for example the stack for new tasks or memory to service DMA or have memory that's also available when SPI cache is down, to fail. This option reserves a pool specifically for requests like that; the memory in this pool is not given out when a normal malloc() is called. Set this to 0 to disable this feature. Note that because FreeRTOS stacks are forced to internal memory, they will also use this memory pool; be sure to keep this in mind when adjusting this value. Note also that the DMA reserved pool may not be one single contiguous memory region, depending on the configured size and the static memory usage of the app. config SPIRAM_ALLOW_BSS_SEG_EXTERNAL_MEMORY bool "Allow .bss segment placed in external memory" default n depends on SPIRAM && IDF_TARGET_ESP32 # TODO ESP32-S2 IDFGH-4320 help If enabled the option,and add EXT_RAM_ATTR defined your variable,then your variable will be placed in PSRAM instead of internal memory, and placed most of variables of lwip,net802.11,pp,bluedroid library to external memory defaultly.
