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 development and production 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 (in KB) for Zigbee samples.

n/a indicates that the sample with the given variant is not supported on the DK.

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

ROM, MCUboot bootloader

ROM, ZBOSS non-volatile memory
