Topic: Device Placement

Hello, I am trying to add a signal to a somewhat large project and when I compile it fails because the memory usage of DSP A in the Nion n6 wants to go to 103%.
The D,E and F dsp chips seem to have a lot of spare capacity so I assigned a device to F and then the project would compile.
Everything seems to be in order, I am however looking for assurance that I didn't somehow jeopardize the functionality of my system. It runs a critical application.
Regards
Pedro

Re: Device Placement

It sounds like you have locked all algorithms down, not allowing the compiler to place things on the DSP engine except as "hard assigned".

There may be a real reason that all must be locked (though I can't think of any ), so I don't have any idea how it could impact your project...

Is there a reason this was done?

Re: Device Placement

Hi Fergy,
On a related note, is there any way to find all devices whose placement is hard assigned?
(obviously apart from looking at them one by one!)
Cheers,
Phil

Re: Device Placement

No, but it would be a good feature.  I will discuss with our engineer and see it we can get it on the feature request.
