Zigbee memory requirements

This page provides information about the amount of flash memory and RAM that is required by Zigbee samples, as well as stack memory requirements for main and zboss threads. Use it to check if your application has enough space for a given configuration. Values are provided for ZBOSS libraries.

Samples were built using the available ZBOSS Zigbee stack. Unless stated otherwise, the default prj.conf was used.

RAM and flash memory requirements

RAM and flash memory requirement values differ depending on the DK, and the programmed sample.

The following tables list memory requirement values for Zigbee samples.

Values are provided in kilobytes (KB). n/a indicates that the sample with the given variant is not supported on the DK.

nRF52840nRF52833nRF5340nRF21540nRF52840 Dongle

The following table lists memory requirements for samples running on the nRF52840 DK (nrf52840dk_nrf52840).

Stack memory requirements

The following table lists stack memory requirement values for main and zboss threads. These measurements were carried out with Thread analyzer, using the following Kconfig options for configuration:

• For the stack memory size of the main thread - CONFIG_MAIN_STACK_SIZE

• For the stack memory size of the zboss thread - CONFIG_ZBOSS_DEFAULT_THREAD_STACK_SIZE

Values are provided in bytes (B).
