Memory Management

Tire HP 49G has 512 ICb of RAM and 2 Mb of Flash ROM.

RAM is segmented into system memory, user memory, port 0 and port 1.

System memory stores system variables. You do not have access to
system memory.

User memory contains the HOME directory (and its subdirectories),
history, working memory (that is, memory available for use by

calculations and executing programs) and a number of temporary

variables created eitlrer by the system or by executing programs.

Port 0 is available for storing libraries and for backed-up objects, and port

1 can be used to store objects.

Flash ROM is segmented into system memoiy—which is an extension of
RAM system memory—and port 2. Like port 1, port 2 can be used to store

objects you create or download.

Objects stored in port memoiy can be called or executed, but they caimot

be viewed or edited imless copied to main memory.

In total, the HP 49G offers over 1 Mb of port memory.
