Hi, I am using BH178, both in flash and multiboot (VU DUO). This way, my flash memory is down to 3%. Unfortunately I cannot reduce my RAM memory, which is 98%. I dont know how. I tried to find
the way in several sides, unsuccesfully. Please, is it a way?
Thanks,
Ledra

Having low free RAM is not an issue at all because it is directly managed and optimized by Linux in a very complex way.
If you try to continue free the memory, you just work against Linux which tries to optimize and speed up the system.
So, if you have 98% RAM memory used, it is a good thing.
 
I installed also a SWAP file on a USB-Flash partition. Works fine with no side effects. If it is necessary or helps the performance?
It is hardly populated ever. Linux does a good job on memory management and removes things only when space is needed.
After doing an FTP for instance RAM is typically used to 98% or so. This is absolutely normal.
