Resource usage

High performance combined with low resource usage has always been a major design consideration.

Resource usage of different operating systems

The actual resource usage depends on many factors (CPU, compiler, memory model, optimization, configuration, etc.). Therefore, these values are neither precise, nor guaranteed – but they give you a good idea of the memory requirements. In the table below, which is for a 32 bit target and XRelease build, you will find minimum ROM and RAM size requirements.
