Record #1615 Product Family: Software Product Line: FPGA Core Product Part: XChecker Problem Title: XCHECKER SOFTWARE 5.2.1: What are the system memory requirement in order to run? Problem Description: What is the required minimum of free base RAM in order to run the xchecker software? Solution 1: Xchecker reqires a minimum of 512kB of free base memory. To check the amount of availible base memory type at a DOS prompt: mem The output should similar to: Memory Type Total Used Free ---------------- -------- -------- -------- Conventional 640K 29K 611K Upper 107K 54K 52K Reserved 384K 384K 0K Extended (XMS) 31,637K 30,613K 1,024K ---------------- -------- -------- -------- Total memory 32,768K 31,080K 1,688K Total under 1 MB 747K 83K 664K Largest executable program size 611K (625,680 bytes)   Largest free upper memory block 52K (53,744 bytes)   MS-DOS is resident in the high memory area. The amount of memory listed in the Conventional row, Free colomn, should be greater than 512K. If this is not the case, remove any unnecessary drivers, TSRs, and Envrionment variables from your autoexec and/or config.sys. End of Record #1615 - Last Modified: 01/15/97 14:03
