session.mData high memory on Fenix 3 devices

winder1987 over 8 years ago

Hey guys,

today I had a look at the memory and found out, that the simulator for Fenix 3 and Fenix 3 HR devices shown 7kB more memory usage than other devices.
I saw, that the difference comes from the session variable, more exactly the mData resource.
Can somebody tell me, what this mData resource needs so much memory only on Fenix 3/HR devices?

Thank you
Andy

Hi it's probably because F3, F3 HR and vivoactive have this settings in devices.xml file

fit_session_memory="7168"

I forget the exact details, but there are likely some old posts here about it. Memory management is different on CIQ1 device, and I recall it has to do with where the memory comes from when you start recording. You'll see something similar with the vivoactive1.

It comes down to something to plan for with these targets. That's why it's noted in devices.xml, so when you run in the sim, it's considered, and the sim works like the actual device.
