Use less ram
You are out of memory. Without details of what your device is doing (and what type it is, though I'm assuming an L2E...) I can't be much more specific. You could see about putting any data stuff that doesn't change into flash/rom by declaring the variables 'const'. That is one of the major drawbacks to the L2E; it's an extremely memory limited part. You can also make sure you're stripping out all features you don't need. If it doesn't need a webserver, make sure you're not running the webserver, etc.

I wrote a big file into Netburner board (don't know the exact size). I just want to recover my Netburner to be able to reload any new software.
I don't care about the files on the board. Is there a way to tell what's on the board so I can delet that file. Or do a hard reset to go back to original fresh state ?

Which netburner board?
Are you seeing the out of ram message when you compile or when you try to update?
We need a tiny bit more info to be able to help you...

Then try the serial update procedure outlined in section 4.32 of the getting started guide....

The only way to replace the app on the board if autoudate does not work is via serial download...
here is a link to a different serial download document...

If that can't be made to work you need to RMA the board...

I tried several different files via serial download, it seems to fix the problem.
Thank you all for the help.
