Hallo Everyone,
i want to develop an application on the MSP430f5438 with Code Composer, and i want to use the RTOS " SYS/BIOS".
i have some question about SYS/BIOS, i hope some one can answer it:
1- can SYS/BIOS be compiled with the Eclipse?
2- does SYS/BIOS support reading and writing on a SD-Memory card with file system, that is compatible to windows?
3- is there a bluetuth-stack in SYS/BIOS, with wich is it possible to make a serial connection " for example via RS232" ?
4- is there a grafical windows-system in SYS/BIOS?
5- is there a debugger in SYS/BIOS to monitor the rtos and the tasks.?
6- can the division of the memory in stack and heap be known at anytime? is there is a way to monitor the division into stack and heap at anytime?
Best Regards,
Mohammad
Hi Mohammad,
I can answer some of the questions. I'll leave the other ones for the PSP team.
1. I'm assuming you mean can applications be built within CCS that use SYS/BIOS. The answer is yes.
5/6. There is no debug monitor in SYS/BIOS. There are several tools in CCS that allows a user to view the state of the operating system (e.g. stack usage, heap usage, semaphore task, task state, etc.). CCS also includes analysis that includes CPU/Task load, execution graph, etc.

Hi Todd,
Thank you a lot for your answers. it is a big help to me.
i hope, that the other forum-user could reply the rest questions.
Mohammad,
For the remainder of your questions, the answer is that SYS/BIOS really does not provide specific services for these purposes. I'm going to go ahead and mark this thread as answered and I would suggest if you want to pursue those particular questions further, you should file them as a separate thread in the MSP430 forum at
