Answer from AI

In the event of an OutOfMemoryError in embedded systems or IoT devices, it is necessary to:

  • Check and optimize memory usage in the application, reduce the volume of allocated objects.
  • Use memory profiling to identify leaks or excessive consumption.
  • Limit or redistribute tasks to reduce peak memory load.
  • Increase the available memory volume if hardware allows.
  • Implement error handling to respond correctly to memory shortages and avoid crashes.

Example: if a device collects data from sensors and stores it in an array, a fixed-size circular buffer can be implemented to avoid accumulating an infinite amount of data.
