API Reference for DSP/BIOS 6?

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SYSBIOS

Hello everybody,

I'm looking for an API reference for DSP/BIOS 6.

Such a reference exists for DSP/BIOS 5 in form of a PDF document (SPRU403Q, "TMS320C6000 DSP/BIOS 5.x Application Programming Interface (API) Reference Guide").

For instance, I'm looking for a description of the Memory_alloc() function (e.g. "what are its semantics, what is its return value", etc.). The "TI DSP/BIOS Real-time Operating
System v6.x User’s Guide" (SPRUEX3D) does not provide for such documentation.

Cheers,

Jerry

  • If you look in your BIOS6 installation under \docs you will see a folder called "cdoc".  Since all BIOS content is now delivered as RTSC components, BIOS is now documented in the RTSC way.  Double click on index.html to see the top level page.  You can then click on various links there to drill down into the SYS/BIOS components.  For example, to see the Task module documentation, click on package ti.sysbios.knl and then module Task.
