Espressif ESP32 SPIRAM test

Overview

This sample allocates memory from internal DRAM and SPIRAM by calling k_malloc, frees allocated memory by calling k_free and checks if memory can be allocated again. Capability of allocated memory is decided by ESP_HEAP_MIN_EXTRAM_THRESHOLD. If size is less than ESP_HEAP_MIN_EXTRAM_THRESHOLD, memory is allocated from internal DRAM. If size is greater than ESP_HEAP_MIN_EXTRAM_THRESHOLD, memory is allocated from SPIRAM.

Building and Running

Make sure you have the ESP32_WROVER_KIT connected over USB port.

west build -b esp32 samples/boards/esp32/spiram_test
west flash --esp-device /dev/ttyUSB0

Sample Output

To check output of this sample, any serial console program can be used (i.e. on Linux minicom, putty, screen, etc) This example uses picocom on the serial port /dev/ttyUS0:

mem test ok! 209
SPIRAM mem test pass
mem test ok! 194
Internal mem test pass
