PlatformIO calculates firmware/program memory usage based on the next segments:
.text:The code segment, also known as a text segment or simply as text, is where a portion of an object file or the corresponding section of the program’s virtual address space that contains executable instructions is stored and is generally read-only and fixed size.
.data:The .data segment contains any global or static variables which have a
pre-defined value and can be modified. The values for these variables are
initially stored within the read-only memory (typically within .text)
and are copied into the .data segment during the start-up routine of
the program. Example,
int val = 3;
char string[] = "Hello World";
.bss:Uninitialized data is usually adjacent to the data segment. The BSS
segment contains all global variables and static variables that are
initialized to zero or do not have explicit initialization in the source code.
For instance, a variable defined as static int i; would be contained
in the BSS segment.
The rough calculation could be done as:
PROGRAM (Flash) = .text + .data
DATA (RAM) = .bss + .data
If you need to print all memory sections and addresses, please use
pio run --verbose command.
