Module psram

Available on crate feature unstable only.

PSRAM (Pseudo-static RAM, SPI RAM) driver

Overview

The PSRAM module provides support for accessing and controlling the Pseudo Static Random Access Memory (PSRAM). PSRAM provides additional external memory to supplement the internal memory of the MCU, allowing for increased storage capacity and improved performance in certain applications.

The mapped start address for PSRAM depends on the amount of mapped flash memory.

Examples

PSRAM as heap memory

This example shows how to use PSRAM as heap-memory via esp-alloc. You need an MCU with at least 2 MB of PSRAM memory.

The PSRAM example must be built in release mode!

// Add PSRAM to the heap.
esp_alloc::psram_allocator!(&peripherals.PSRAM, esp_hal::psram);

let mut large_vec: Vec<u32> = Vec::with_capacity(500 * 1024 / 4);

for i in 0..(500 * 1024 / 4) {
    large_vec.push((i & 0xff) as u32);
}

let string = String::from("A string allocated in PSRAM");
