The sbrk() routine allocates the amount of memory specified. It does not acquire a larger heap. If you want to use standard heap sizes, you must use the higher level functions such as malloc(). You may be interested in looking under _MNEED and _MSTEP in the library documentation for setting the standard heapsize etc. Lattice will sell library source. You should call our sales department and ask for details on how to purchase it. I believe you need to sign a non-disclosure agreement to purchase it. BTW, you should be looking in the 5.0 documentation for the memory info. I will also mention that future versions of the libraries will not necessarily work the same way as 5.0. I have been redesigning much of the code to improve performance and functionality.
