ATM module in SYS/BIOS

Which device are you running on?    If you are running on one of the C6x devices, then you can still use ATM.

Add the following to your .cfg file:

xdc.loadPackage('ti.bios');

And then use #include <ti/bios/include/atm.h> in your code before you use the ATM_inc(), etc.

The ATM APIs were created to allow for simple inc/dec of variables.   The TI compiler now provides built-in interrupt disable, enable and restore instrinsics which can be used in your code in place of the ATM APIs.

To increment a variable:

key = _disable_interrupts();

var++;

_restore_interrupts(key);

If you use ATM in a lot of your code, you might be able to write a MYATM module (.h file) some inline functions that use the above intrinsics.
