Question: Error: " Cannot allocate system memory - out of memory " ?

Answer: This is caused by the DOS 640K system memory limitation. You can solve this problem by trying to maximize the available memory in the following ways:

  • Get a simulator upgrade: TI has incorporated a memory cache approach that implements a virtual memory system based on the space available in your disk.
  • Use the Microsoft Windows version of the simulator.
  • remove device drivers as you can from your autoexec.bat file.
  • Modify your siminit.cmd file declaring only the memory ranges needed in your application.
