Size of area for OS image

    The PicoComA5 has 128MB flash memory. By default, this is partioned at 64MB for the OS and 64MB for ffsdisk. However, we would like to give as much as possible to ffsdisk so my question is: do you know what the min OS size for the 140414 image is? I could find out by trial and error but that would take quite some time so a hint would be very welcome :-)

    You can get the size of the image with the tool Microsoft tool viewbin.exe
    The result for XIPVYB_C7E_140414.bin is:


    ViewBin... XIPVYB_C7E_140414.binImage Start = 0x80100000, length = 0x0332DB2CStart address = 0x801098C0Checking record #37 for potential TOC (ROMOFFSET = 0x00000000)Found pTOC = 0x8037598cROMOFFSET = 0x00000000Checking record #37 for potential TOC (ROMOFFSET = 0xFCF4B660)Checking record #386 for potential TOC (ROMOFFSET = 0xFE902C30)Checking record #568 for potential TOC (ROMOFFSET = 0x00000000)Found pTOC = 0x8342a32cROMOFFSET = 0x00000000Done.


    But we don''t recommend using exactly this values. In case a Microsoft QFE will addd additional code and therfore the size of the Image will increase you can save it on your board.
