config MM_MULTIHEAP
	bool "Build support for multiple heaps"
	default n
	---help---
		Build interfaces to support multiple heaps.  This should not be
		confused with memory regions.  One heap may be composed of multiple,
		non-contiguous memory regions.  The fact that the heap is composed
		of such multiple regions is invisible to the end-user (other than
		the heap comes pre-fragemented).  Multiple heaps, on the other hand,
		supports a separate set of allocators that operate on a separate set
		of memory regions.

config MM_SMALL
	bool "Small memory model"
	default n
	---help---
		Each memory allocation has a small allocation overhead.  The size
		of that overhead is normally determined by the "width" of the
		address support by the MCU.  MCUs that support 16-bit addressability
		have smaller overhead than devices that support 32-bit addressability.
		However, there are many MCUs that support 32-bit addressability *but*
		have internal SRAM of size less than or equal to 64Kb.  In this case,
		CONFIG_MM_SMALL can be defined so that those MCUs will also benefit
		from the smaller, 16-bit-based allocation overhead.

		NOTE: If MM_MULTIHEAP is selected, then this applies to all heaps.

config MM_REGIONS
	int "Number of memory regions"
	default 1
	---help---
		If the architecture includes multiple, non-contiguous regions of
		memory to allocate from, this specifies the number of memory regions
		that the memory manager must handle and enables the API
		mm_addregion(start, end);

		NOTE: If MM_MULTIHEAP is selected, then this maximum number of regions
		applies to all heaps.

config ARCH_HAVE_HEAP2
	bool

config HEAP2_BASE
	hex "Start address of second user heap region"
	default 0x00000000
	depends on ARCH_HAVE_HEAP2
	---help---
		The base address of the second heap region.

config HEAP2_SIZE
	int "Size of the second user heap region"
	default 0
	depends on ARCH_HAVE_HEAP2
	---help---
		The size of the second heap region.

config GRAN
	bool "Enable Granule Allocator"
	default n
	---help---
		Enable granual allocator support.  Allocations will be aligned to the
		granule size; allocations will be in units of the granule size.
		Larger granules will give better performance and less overhead but
		more losses of memory due to alignment and quantization waste.

		NOTE: The current implementation also restricts the maximum
		allocation size to 32 granaules.  That restriction could be
		eliminated with some additional coding effort.

config GRAN_SINGLE
	bool "Single Granule Allocator"
	default n
	depends on GRAN
	---help---
		Select if there is only one instance of the granule allocator (i.e.,
		gran_initialize will be called only once. In this case, (1) there
		are a few optimizations that can can be done and (2) the GRAN_HANDLE
		is not needed.

config GRAN_INTR
	bool "Interrupt level support"
	default n
	depends on GRAN
	---help---
		Normally mutual exclusive access to granule allocator data is assured
		using a semaphore.  If this option is set then, instead, mutual
		exclusion logic will disable interrupts.  While this options is more
		invasive to system performance, it will also support use of the granule
		allocator from interrupt level logic.

config DEBUG_GRAN
	bool "Granule Allocator Debug"
	default n
	depends on GRAN && DEBUG
	---help---
		Just like CONFIG_DEBUG_MM, but only generates ouput from the gran
		allocation logic.
