First of all, a big thank you to community member KodeDaemon (David Stetz) for all his efforts measuring stack usage and helping free up more RAM on Netduino Plus. He's been doing a lot of work behind the scenes the past few weeks.
By slimming the size of the native code stack, reducing the USB buffer count, and moving some functions out of RAM, Netduino Plus now has about 50% more RAM available for your app (42KB+ instead of 28KB).
We plan to incorporate these enhancements into the official v4.1.1 beta 2 firmware...but I thought I'd publish a special build for interested parties to test first.
This build is identical to the v4.1.1 beta 1 firmware--but it contains the memory enhancements and one SDHC card bugfix.
Please post your experiences here--good and bad. If your Netduino app breaks using this firmware, please let us know.
And please say 'thank you' to KodeDaemon if you see him around in Netduino Chat!
Chris
That's brilliant! Excellent work David!!! Thank you form all of us!

http://forums.netdui....php?app=ipchatWhat is "Netduino Chat" ? Is that another place for Netduino users to communicate? I'd love to join up!

Fantastic work! I was having to be very creative with memory management on a project for work, it's nice to have the belt loosened a bit!

How is the "50% more RAM" build working for everyone so far? We're working on integrating it into beta 2--but wanted to make sure nobody was having trouble with it first...

Works fine for me

It's not in 4.2 beta 1, the one that is currently available.Is this 50% more ram modification already included within the 4.2 beta that is actually available?

Is this going to be available in 4.2 final?
According to my free RAM on 4.2 RC1, yes it is.

The 4.1.1 beta (first post in this thread) has the improvements. 4.2.0 RC5+ free up even more RAM.Is there any final 4.1 firmware release containing this improvements?
I might be wrong, but the thread with the stable 4.1.0.6 firmware states 28+ KB RAM...
