  • Hi,

    Not sure where you got the term biosing but basically DSP/BIOS is a RTOS that runs on many TI chips and some ARM ones too.

    BIOS has support for multiple threads, interrupts, memory allocation, and many other features.

    SYS/BIOS (v6.xx) is the latest version of DSP/BIOS (v5.xx).  Sometimes we just use BIOS for short.

    The best way to get familiar with BIOS is to read the BIOS USER Guide that comes with the installation:

    You can get the downloads here:  http://software-dl.ti.com/dsps/dsps_public_sw/sdo_sb/targetcontent/bios/index.html

    C6713 is an older chip, I believe only supported by DSP/BIOS

  • hi,

               Thanks for clarifyng with bios / biosing. Finally, bios relates to RTOS. How will i understand the basics of RTOS supported by ti.?

    regards,

  • I would start by looking at the BIOS USERs GUIDE.  It details what each module does and also gives an overview of how the RTOS works.
