ALLOC command
ALLOC [-E] [-D <sectors>] [-A <sectors>]
Where
-E specifies the File Allocation Sector to be erased before writing an
entry.
-D<sectors>
specifies the new size of the file (or data) area in flash sectors; the
minimum size is 1.
-A<sectors>
specifies the new size of the OS and applications area in flash
memory.
If no options are specified, the command reports on current usage.
Description
This command writes a new entry to the Flash Allocation Log and moves
the breakpoint between File area and the OS and applications area of
memory. It is possible to move only one, but then you would have an
unused sector.
The command will only reduce the size of an area if the sectors to be
removed are completely blank. This is rarely a problem with the OS and
applications area, but may be a problem with the File area, because there
are no guarantees about placement of information.
