Hello all,
I am doing a project where the microcontroller is receiving packets of data from the server via wifi, which i am receiving in a buffer. My buffer size is of 500 i.e it can receive only 500 bytes from it. But I want to increase the size of this buffer and whenever i try to increase the size, my IDE gives an error that RAM is overflowed by xxx bytes.
My controller is STM32F100xx
Flash : 128kBytes
RAM : 8KBytes.
A small part from the standard .ld file
From the .map file, i came to know that my heap is starting from 0x1610 which means for stack and heap we are using 2.48KBytes whcih we can decrease to 1K and we can increase the buffer from 500 bytes to 1K.
A part from .map file for heap beginning
Now my question is how can i make this happen I mean how can I push the starting of the heap? Correct me if I am wrong somewhere...
Thanks in advance.

Code:

ENTRY(Reset_Handler)
/* Highest address of the user mode stack */
_estack = 0x20002000; /* end of 8K RAM */
/* Generate a link error if heap and stack don't fit into RAM */
_Min_Heap_Size = 0; /* required amount of heap */
_Min_Stack_Size = 0x80; /* required amount of stack */
/* Specify the memory areas */
