The retained memory requirements of my Photon-application exceeds the available 3068 bytes that is available. on the device.
As it is a Photon, I might add a coincell battery to VBAT, but will that effectively extend the amount of retained memory???
When applying a coincell battery, will I still have to declare the variables as “retained”, or might that result into failing compilation of the code because of exceeding the 3068 bytes???
Or should I NOT declare these variables as “retained” at all, just because battery backup is available?
Is there a need for declaring “retained” variables anyway when there is battery backup available?
And how much memory is actually available as backup during resets when applying a battery on VBAt?
