RTOS/MSP432P401R: MSP432 TI-RTOS version #

Part Number: MSP432P401R
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SYSBIOS

Tool/software: TI-RTOS

Hello,

I have a question regarding MSP432 and TI-RTOS.

According to: http://software-dl.ti.com/dsps/dsps_public_sw/sdo_sb/targetcontent/tirtos/index.html the site states that the MSP432P4 TI-RTOS is bundled in the SimpleLink SDK.

The latest SimpleLink SDK can be downloaded from http://www.ti.com/tool/download/SIMPLELINK-MSP432-SDK . I’ve downloaded version 2.40.00.10.

As far as I can see, the sys/bios version in this package is 6.75.00 (see BIOS.h definition “ti_sysbios_BIOS_version”). I did not find any SYS/BIOS versions outside of the SimpleLink package which are qualified for the MSP432 MCU. The list of all sys/bios versions can be viewed here: http://software-dl.ti.com/dsps/dsps_public_sw/sdo_sb/targetcontent/sysbios/

I cannot figure out how to get an TI-RTOS version from the SimpleLink package equal to the ones listed in http://software-dl.ti.com/dsps/dsps_public_sw/sdo_sb/targetcontent/tirtos/index.html.

TI-RTOS
2.21.01.08
06 Feb 2018

Is SYS/BIOS version 6.75.00.XX the newest package which can be used with the MSP432 TI-RTOS? How does TI-RTOS version 2.21.01.08 factor in?

Also, what is the best method to create a new TI-RTOS project on the MSP432?

Thanks,

Robert

    I can't talk to the latest version of Ti-RTOS, but the best way to create a new project is to start with the closest example to what you want to do.

    Hi Robert,

    Look in the "Documentation Overview" doc (link is in the SDK Release Notes or on the highlighted link on the SL SDK page)

    You can then click on the TI-RTOS Kernel (SYS/BIOS) release notes to get the version.

    The version is at the top and the version/date are at the bottom of this page.

    I'd recommend staying with the SYS/BIOS version that is shipped in the SDK. You can use a newer version, but he have not validated against it. If their is a major issue with a release, we'll address it in the next quarters SDK.

    Regarding the TI-RTOS product...while still supported, there is no active development on it. For MSP432 users, the SimpleLink SDK is highly recommended over the TI-RTOS product. For MSP430 users, we recommend TI-RTOS for MSP430 (previously called TI-RTOS for MSP43x) since the MSP430 is not under the SimpleLink umbrella.

    Note the SimpleLink SDK has TI-RTOS source code and examples for the MSP432...actually more than the TI-RTOS for MSP43x has.

    The SimpleLink SDK is really a superset of the older TI-RTOS products.

    I hope that cleared things up a bit.

    Todd
