    To do this, after compiling from the Tools > Code Gen... dialog, click the Download... button, then click the Coff Info... button.
    You will see a new dialog that enumerates sizes of all code and data sections in your .out file. The interesting line is the bottom most line which gives totals like this:
    Total memory used on target: Program = 4786, Initialized Data = 1252, Uninitialized data = 1466

    The 'Program' and 'Initialized Data' will end up in flash. 'Uninitialized data' must fit in RAM. For the example above you must have at least 6038 words of flash.
