Was wondering if there was a way to allocate more of the system memory to the RAM used for uPy? I am running into an issue when trying to perform some self updates of the uPy code. I did make sure the device is removing any unnecessary resources and called for garbage collection prior to executing this procedure, but every now and then, the devices fall a bit short on RAM.
