Applications use RAM in two ways. There is code that runs, and there is data that is created while it is running. On a NOR device, the code can run directly from the ROM and not be loaded into RAM first. This process is called XIP (eXecute In Place). NAND devices can't XIP, so their code is loaded into RAM and executed from there. If you don't have a Page Pool, this code is loaded into normal RAM. The Page Pool is a mechanism to limit how much code is loaded into normal RAM. With a Page Pool, we can unload code that hasn't been used in a while and reload it later if we need to. We can't do that without a Page Pool.
On a typical NAND-based WM5 device, the Page Pool is 4.5M.

Thanks for the explanation -- very helpful. Wish we could still use NOR Flash and utilize XIP...

Should I expect my free RAM to increase if I install an app in RAM or SD instead of ROM (flash)? I ask the question because it seems like there is less free RAM available when apps are cooked into the ROM. Based on your explanation, it's not clear to me why it would matter if an app is installed in RAM, SD, or ROM.

If an app is installed in RAM, it uses the area of RAM dedicated to storage (not data). If an app is installed to SD, RAM, or ROM, it still has to be loaded into an execution space in RAM, right?

I too have noticed when programs are cooked in there is less free ram avalable at frist boot. That was just a definition of what page pool helps do for those that want to play around with it that was not me explaining it, it was a artical i found!!

o Visual Studio 2003 (7.1) Runtime Libraries, required by platformrebuilder to solve the "cereg400.dll cannot be loaded" error message

This might be the problem?

Just wanted to say thanks for the kitchen and the continuous build updates.
