Does it has any memory manager? since you said it has no OS I presume you don't. In such a case there is no point in dynamic memory allocation, since you would need some thing to manage the memory (memory manager). check what your firmware support.<br />

In 'C', for dynamic allocation, the Borland Compiler allocates memory on the Heap. I want to know, if i am developing &nbsp;firmware for a target (AM186ER), which does not have any operating system on it, can i use dynamic allocation for that? If, yes then how heap memory allocation is to be taken care into the Firmware?

&quot;Dynamic Memory Allocation by 'C' for a target (That does not have any Operating System on it)

C is a general-purpose, imperative computer programming language, supporting structured programming, lexical variable scope and recursion, while a static type system prevents many unintended operations. By design, C provides constructs that map efficiently to typical machine instructions, so it has found lasting use in applications that had formerly been coded in assembly language, including operating systems as well as various application software for computers ranging from supercomputers to embedded systems. It is distinct from C++ (which has its roots in C) and C#, and many later languages have borrowed directly or indirectly from C.
