Hi all,
Iam a beginner to propeller chip and I am looking for some examples that tell about maximum ram utilization for user data storage.
Also, I would like to know if I can utilise the 2KB ram in unused cogs.

My project requires large amount of data say 2Mbits to be tranferred through a propeller. so, i have to handle this using the available resource of the propeller chip to the max.
if there is a post already jus post the link or keyword for search.

Thank you
Tamil

    If you can run all your code in Cogs you have access to the full 32KB RAM.

    If you are using Spin then you have whatever your program doesn't take up or use for data or stack ( Press F8 in the PropTool for details ).

    You can access the RAM within Cogs but only with a 'helper program' running within the cog being accessed. You won't get access to the full 2KB though. Each Cog memory is entirely separate to all other memory.
