Hi,

I'm using currently the Olimex SAM7-EX256 board for a ethernet 
application. As base I'm using the lwIP_Demo_Rowley_ARM7 (lwIP-1.1.0 + 
FreeRTOS), all is working fine.
My problem is, that just the lwIP stack is consuming almost 40k of RAM 
(located in the .bss region, I've tried to link without lwIP). I've 
tried already to tune the memory options in lwipopts.h, but it doesn't 
change very much. The application is running out of the flash.
do you have any idea what could be the problem ?

Cheers, andy

Here my linker script:
MEMORY
{
        flash   : ORIGIN = 0x00100000, LENGTH = 256K
        ram             : ORIGIN = 0x00200000, LENGTH = 64K
}

_stack_end_ = 0x00200000 + 64K - 4;
