CE image too big for my computer???

Hello,


I build a CE4.2 image, the NK.bin is about 16MB, it works good with the
embedded computer we have(133MHz 486DX2 CPU,64MB DRAM )
, then our customer want multi language support, I add some languages into
it, but when I build it, I have to set build option to ""Enable image larger
than 32MB", otherwise I can't build it, then I build it, the NK.bin is
about 35MB now.


I copy this new NK.bin to the CF, boot computer, BUT after the message
"Jump to XXXXX...", the CE can never boot.

Do you think the image is too big for this computer??? Or I have to do
something else ? What the MAX size of nk.bin for this computer?

Thank you very much!!!

Only you can know that. You control the amount of RAM in the device and how
it is used (via config.bib etc...) if your BIN file is 35M then you probably
need at least 64M of RAM in the machine to have the system be useful

Thank you!


The computer has 64MB, but VGA uses 6MB, so actually only 58MB left for CE.

Do you think I can boot this 35MB nk.bin in this computer by modifying
comfig.bib?

Yes, for CEPC images you should be able to do it with the IMGRAM64 option.
You can set that option: PB main Menu - "Platform | Settings"; "Build
Options" tab; check the "Run-Time Image Can be Larger than 32MB (IMGRAM64)"
option.

The answer is still "it depends"! Is the OS image being transferred to RAM
or is it executing in-place? How many of the large number of applications
which you've obviously added to the OS to make it that size are going to be
executed at once?
