FreeRTOS TCP Buffer Allocation Scheme

Hello, In the FreeRTOS TCP readme there is the following: “At this time it is recommended to use BufferAllocation2.c in which case it is essential to use the heap4.c memory allocation scheme: http://www.FreeRTOS.org/a00111.html” What were the specific reasons for this statement? Will BufferAllocation1.c eventually become obsolete? I thought 1.c was better if one was trying to avoid dynamic heap allocation. Is that still the case? Thanks

I’m not sure of the context. Can you please link to the page that text is cut from. There is no plan to obsolete BufferAllocation1.c – although it is a bit harder to use as you need to pre-allocate memory (sometimes within the network driver itself if the driver has certain memory alignment requirements).
