Bemicro NIOS memory error

[Altera_Forum]

Hi All, 

 Just got my Bemicro, ran through the entire lab twice, cant figure out the issue. The SOPC and Quartus compilation seem fine. Then with the NIOS compiler, I get this:  **** Build of configuration Release for project bemicro_led_control ****  make -s all includes  Compiling main.c... Compiling alarm_util.c... Compiling delay_wait.c... Compiling error_loop.c... Compiling jtag_uart_util.c... Compiling led_util.c... Compiling system_validation.c... Compiling uart_util.c... Linking bemicro_led_control.elf... /cygdrive/c/altera/91/nios2eds/bin/nios2-gnutools/H-i686-pc-cygwin/bin/../lib/gcc/nios2-elf/3.4.6/../../../../nios2-elf/bin/ld: region onchip_sram is full (bemicro_led_control.elf section .text).

Any ideas?  Thanks, Eric O

It's telling you your program is too large for your RAM. I think you missed a step. You need to modify your BSP (or system library) to place the ".text", ".rodata", and ".rwdata" into the bemicro_sram rather than onchip_sram.

Hi Jake, and thanks. 

 Missed the part on Page 41 of the Bemicro lab about putting read-only, read-write, and program memory to the external sram.  bemicro_led_control_syslib  system Library  Linker Script options (on the right hand side of the screen.  Eric O
