Hello,
I was preparing the pull request for GitHub - FreeRTOS/FreeRTOS-Community-Supported-Demos for the Renesas RISC-V MCU but encountered a major issue: memory.
The tests indeed don’t fit into the memory. I do not mean all of the them at the same time, but sometimes also the single tests.
Up to now I managed to get almost all the tests working by simply rewriting some little parts or finding the perfect combination of stack and heap sizes in order to make them fit.
But now I am facing a bigger problem: configSTART_MESSAGE_BUFFER_TESTS and configSTART_STREAM_BUFFER_TESTS related tests cannot fit into memory. They would need some attention in order to make them fit. It translates in rewriting the tests (mainly the sizes of the buffers and so on) which I already started but is tedious process.
But my question is: do those tests really need to pass in order to make the pull request? Is it worth rewriting the tests?
The problem here is that they do not fit, not that they don’t pass.
We might argue that it is even worth having an OS on this MCU if the situation is as described, but I would love to end the project in the next days with the pull request or some further information on what are the best steps to make in this case.
