[ECOS] Kinetis heap size?

[Michael Jones <mjones@linear.com>]

I am trying to figure out how the heap size for kinetis K60 is set.

There is a memory layout like below. From my limited knowledge, it appears that the heap is not in a memory section, but instead a fixed size memory in some other section.

What I can't figure out is where the memory size is defined and how to control it. Also, whether mallinfo(...) will return the value of the allocated space or some other value. Basically I want to make it bigger, and to be sure that the amount of heap available reported by mallinfo is correct.

Does anybody know how this works and what files define this? I spend a lot of time with find/grep and came up empty.
