Tiny210v2 RAM problem

Forum: WinCE
csibori 
Hello!

I bought a Tiny210v2 developer board with 512MB RAM, 2GB Flash and a 7"
Capacitive touch screen.
I want to use Wince 6.0, because I'm a .NET developer.
I tried the original Wince image, and later I built my own image from the
BSP. 
Both of them are works, but I found a weird thing.
After the system booted up, the System Properties menu General tab shows:
Memory  247616KB Ram.

Is it normal?
I know the whole system load into the RAM, but the packed image (NK.bin)
size only 40MB.
I think the unpacked size can't be so large. (More than 256MB)

What should I do to get more RAM?
Thanks.

So, anyone didn't answer my question, but I found a solution for my
problem. 
I set up ROM only file system, and now I can use the whole memory as RAM,
and the board doesn't forget the settings after reboot.

I tried to expand the memory like the following tutorial says, but
the Wince couldn't properly.

Anyone tried this?

Wince couldn't properly -> Wince couldn't start properly.

BSquare and Microsoft have become too hard to work with. CE6r3 is now 2
generations behind MS current embedded offerings. I know ARMWorks has
stopped supporting in any way that requires rebuilding with Platform
Builder. They will pass along the Samsung BSP or test version, but you need
to find a CE6 expert if it won't do what you need. Plus since they are in
the US, they will need to know if you are licensing from MS/BSquare.

Hi csibori!

I also meet some problems as you about memory RAM (windows only have
247616KB ).
I also set up ROM only file system, but Wince image couldn't work. After,
run start-up screen is screen turn off and window couldn't run.

Please, can you help me solve problem about ROM-only file system.

Hello Dang Khoa!

Enabling the ROM-Only file system in the catalog isn't enough.
You should change the platform.reg like this:

IF BSP_NONANDFS !

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\NANDFLASH]
  "Prefix"="DSK"
  "Dll"="flashmdd.dll"
  "FlashPddDll"="nandflash.dll"
  ;"Index"=dword:1
  "Order"=dword:0
  "FriendlyName"="NAND FLASH Driver"
  "Profile"="NANDFLASH"
  "IClass"="{A4E7EDDA-E575-4252-9D6B-4195D48BB865}"
IF IMGHIVEREG
  "Flags"=dword:1000
ENDIF IMGHIVEREG

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\AutoLoad\NANDFLASH]
  "DriverPath"="Drivers\\BuiltIn\\NANDFLASH"
  "LoadFlags"=dword:1      ; load synchronously
  "BootPhase"=dword:0
IF IMGHIVEREG
  "MountAsBootable"=dword:1    ; for Hive-based registry
ENDIF IMGHIVEREG

    "AutoMount"=dword:1
  "MountFlags"=dword:0
IF SYSGEN_FSREGHIVE
  "MountAsBootable"=dword:1
  "MountPermanent"=dword:1    ; Only if SYSGEN_FSROMONLY
ENDIF


[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\NANDFLASH]
  "Name"="NANDFLASH"
  "DefaultFileSystem"="FATFS"
  "PartitionDriver"="flashpart.dll"
  "Folder"="NANDFlash"
    "AutoPart"=dword:1
    "AutoFormat"=dword:1
    "AutoMount"=dword:1
  "MountFlags"=dword:0
IF SYSGEN_FSREGHIVE
  "MountAsBootable"=dword:1
  "MountPermanent"=dword:1    ; Only if SYSGEN_FSROMONLY
ENDIF
  "MountAsRoot"=dword:1
  
ENDIF BSP_NONANDFS !

It works for me. 
Sorry for replying so late, but I'm working an another project these days.
