Query the kernel about physical memory allocation and availability   
hi all

is there a way to know the current state (allocation/fragmentation/availability) of the physical memory?

Something like "sin pmem" on old qnx4... but more complete about physical addresses if possible ;)

thanks
Davide

showmem -Dm
http://www.qnx.com/developers/docs/6.5.0/index.jsp?topic=/com.qnx.doc.neutrino_utilities/s/showmem.html

use showmem:
showmem [options] - display memory information
-S          Show memory summary (free/used) for the system
-P          Show process/sharedlibrary/ summary for the system
-D[lshm]     Show detailed process information
             l = libraries/binaries
             s = stack
             h = heap
             m = memory mapping
-d file     Dump the raw map information to specified file
-v Increase the verbosity of the output

6.5.0 Service Pack 1 has a much better doc for showmem:

Re: Query the kernel about physical memory allocation and availability   
Great!

unfortunately, I forgot to say that I run qnx 6.4.1, where showmem is much more limited.

But I'm happy to know it have been improved ;)

thanks
Davide

Re: Query the kernel about physical memory allocation and availability   
Hi !

Any way to get source code or binary of "showmem" utility for AM335x BSP to try? Looks like not included...

Thank you,
Sergey

Re: Query the kernel about physical memory allocation and availability   
Hello Sergey,

The 'showmem' utility is included into the QNX SDP and located at QNX650\target\qnx6\armle-v7\usr\bin. You can add 
'showmem' into your BSP by using QNX Momentics / System Builder or just copy the binary file on SD card if you just want
 to experiment.

Best Regards,
Evgeny
