DSP/SYS/BIOS without using the XDC

There is no way to use SYS/BIOS without XDCtools. To replace XDCtools, you would need another tool to read a CFG script and then generate a source file that's compiled and linked with SYS/BIOS libraries and the app. I don't know of any such tool.

Sasha,

OK, Anything for DSP/BIOS?

Since all the xdc functions have C equivalents, and all xdc tools do is generate C code in the background, it should be quite feasible to dump the xdc tools & co. and setup sysbios in straight C.

Example:

XDC:

http://software-dl.ti.com/dsps/dsps_public_sw/sdo_sb/targetcontent/sysbios/6_33_07_53/exports/bios_6_33_07_53/docs/cdoc/ti/sysbios/BIOS.html#meta-synop

C equivalents:

http://software-dl.ti.com/dsps/dsps_public_sw/sdo_sb/targetcontent/sysbios/6_33_07_53/exports/bios_6_33_07_53/docs/cdoc/ti/sysbios/BIOS.html#targ-synop

So, if you are creating a task, in XDC .cfg file it would look something like this:

var params = new Task.Params;

params.config = ...

var inst = Task.create("&task_function", params);

The equivalent thing in straight C:

#include <ti/sysbios/knl/Task.h>

Task_Params params;

params....

Task_create(task_function, &params, NULL);

Or, if you want to create static tasks, use the Task_construct() function.

Relevant documentation:

Are there any Updates on Using SYS/BIOS wihtout XDCtools? If so, is there a Tutorial for doing that?

There are no plans or any current development for using SYS/BIOS without XDCtools.
We do support a closure tool - http://rtsc.eclipse.org/docs-tip/Command_-_xdc.tools.closure, which can be used to generate XDCtools artifacts only once and then use them to recompile and relink an app without using XDCtools.
