Memory Leaks in Embedded Systems
Memory management is a crucial aspect of embedded system development. Unlike general-purpose computers, embedded systems often operate with limited memory resources, making efficient memory utilization essential. A memory leak occurs when memory is allocated dynamically but not properly released, leading to gradual memory depletion and potential system failures over time. In this blog, we’ll explore memory leaks in embedded systems, their causes, impact, detection methods, and best practices to prevent them.
