RE: [bluetooth-dev] Porting the Axis stack to other OS's

[Richard Gledhill <Richard.Gledhill@xxxxxxx.com>]

Thanks Ken,

Is there a list of the Linux functions that the stack uses?

Also, do you have any figures for RAM usage, both dynamic and static?  I've
done a grep on the code and there appear to be only 4 alloc() calls in the
stack.  For embedded applications we're looking at using a static pool of
memory so I need an idea of how much is typically used.

Thanks
Richard
