msp430 low power modes...

Hi - I'm building a low-power energy-harvesting module based around MSP430s - the application is complex - I'm using CCS V6 & C++.

As the application has a number of internal tasks, I was wondering if rather than build my own scheduling system, I could use Ti-RTOS, however I'm unsure what this might do to the power budget...

Are there any app notes etc. on maintaining uPower consumption levels whilst using Ti-RTOS?

Thanks

    Hi Nick de Smith,

    The TI-RTOS kernel (a.k.a. SYS/BIOS) has built in support for power management.  Here's a couple of wikis that may be helpful:
