  • Measuring Stack Usage the Hard Way

    by Noah Pendleton

    This article is intended to shed some light on strategies for measuring stack memory usage on a small embedded system.

  • A Guide to Using ARM Stack Limit Registers

    by Jon Kurtz

    We will explore using the MSP Limit and the PSP Limit Registers on the ARM Cortex-M33 architecture to detect stack overflows. We will walk through an implementation on the Renesas DA1469x and look at practical examples of detecting stack overflows. Additionally, we will look at supplementary options for scenarios that the MSPLIM and PSPLIM features fall short.
