memory allocation problem

i have written mfcc code for some speech application.
now, i need to port my code on TI320c5510 dsk.
To avoid excess dynamic memory allocation, i have written some
essential data in arrays in some .h files & am including those .h
files with the main program.
while building the program on ccs 2.21, it given following build error:
>> error: can't allocate .cinit (sz: 0001ac6a page: 0) in PROG (avail:
000010d4)
>> error: can't allocate .bss (sz: 0001b5f6 page: 0) in DATA (avail:
00007fff)
>> error: errors in input - ./Debug/mfcccalc.out not built
can somebody suggest me, so that i can allocate the memory as required
by the application.
thnx & regds,

It appears that you're adding a lot of data as global (static) arrays that need to be
initialized at run-time, and you have linker set for run-time autoinitialization.
That would cause the .cinit section to be repeat the data, in order to initialize
your arrays in the .bss section before C code runs (you can look for function c_init
in TI documentation).

You might try allocating the arrays as .const, for example:

int const BigData[0, 1, 2, 3, ....];

I think that may avoid c_init() initialization and cause the data to not be
duplicated.

One additional comment: I shouldn't have said "repeat the data" as that's not
accurate. What's being duplicated in the case of static .bss arrays is memory space
required -- once in .bss, again in .cinit section to initialize the arrays at
run-time. By allocating arrays in .const section, the idea is to avoid mem space
duplication.
