TMS320C6455: Migrating from dsp/bios v5.33.06 to sysbios v6.42.03.35

Part Number: TMS320C6455
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SYSBIOS

Tool/software:

Hello,

Due to obsolescence, we are updating our hardware from TMS320C6455 to another processor.  I am attempting to migrate the software from its current dsp/bios v5.33.06 to sysbios v6.42.03.35, which according to the release notes, is the last to support this processor.  Eventually with new processor, we may migrate to latest sysbios.

My question is regarding old API that I don't think are supported with the new OS.  For example, BUF_create and LCK_create don't seem to have equivalent API.  I searched the forums.  For a time, it seems the solution was to add this line to the cfg file: "xdc.loadPackage('ti.bios.tconf');". However, later versions of sysbios drop ti.bios package entirely from the documentation.

It looks to me as if any code that relies on API in that package must be rewritten, but I'd like to rule out that I am overlooking something that is missing from my installation.

I have read over the migration documents.  I am attempting to use sysbios v6.42.03.35 with XDCTools 3.30.06.67.

Thank you.
