    Dear Forum,

    When using a online-change I often get the following message:
    No Bootproject possible in this state: application out of memory. Perform full download first.

    I'm using Codesys virtual control for linux SL running on a docker server with plenty of memory available, therefore I’m not expecting a hardware limitation.

    Is there a setting available to for example reserve more memory, so the controller is not that quick out of memory?

    thank you in advance.

    Alex

    Hello Alex,

    the message is generated by the CODESYS code generator based on the DevDesc settings of the memory areas available for the target. The problem arises when after too many online changes the area is full. Therefore no more boot project can be generated.
    Short-term remedy as described in the dialog: Clean and fresh download. This way the initial memory size will be "used" again

    After how many online changes did this error occur?

    There is no set limit on the number of online changes, but making too many changes could be a risk.

    Hello Simon,

    Thank you for your response.

    The problem occurs after about 10 online changes, after this a full download is required, but that means that the installation is going down.

    Is it possible to enlarge the space reserved for online changes, so that the problem occurs after 100 online changes for example?

    Kind regards

    Alex
