Managing memory content
MAX unit memory includes:
•
Main memory, stored on a synchronous dynamic RAM (SDRAM) module (32 MB in
standard configuration). Used for TAOS code execution and current configuration storage.
•
Flash memory, stored on a nonvolatile RAM (NVRAM) module (8 MB in standard
configuration). Used for storing the TAOS executable (compressed) and a copy of the
current configuration. A subportion of NVRAM contains the unit’s IP address and
passwords.
